After finally getting tired of my "impulse" built large pc I'm wanting to downsize. A lot. I'm tired of RGB blinding me while I try to play games, not being able to manage cables on my desk well because some are stretched just because of how far away my massive tower has to be. Currently I have a i9 and 2070 built. I want to get into a small, non flashy case. Mostly playing games but occasional light editing. I'm wanting to step down to the i5-10600k for it's performance in games. I think I have a decent parts list put together, but would like opinions. With me already having a built pc I can really take my time with this one and do fun stuff to it. I want to get into sleeving cables and possibly watercooling with this build. I do want to reuse my current video card. I didn't pick any memory because my m.2s can come over to the motherboard I picked. I went with that one because I have had really good luck with ROG parts. I'd like to keep 32 gigs of ram. Usually when I play games, I have Spotify, Discord, and a few other things going on in the background. Just in games I don't get close to using 32 gigs of ram, but I tend to get close enough that I'd like to stick with it. I didn't pick a CPU cooler or fans yet. I want to go with Noctua. From what I've seen there is some modding that happens to make a watercooling set up fit in the A1, and it seems like those are with smaller GPUs. I'm curious on the possibility of this with a larger GPU. I'm not against cutting and modifying this case to make it work better for my needs if I have to. I already want to pull it apart and give it some paint in a different color. I wasn't able to pick the GPU I currently have on PCPP. It is the ROG STRIX 2070, triple fan.
Is there anything major I'm missing? Any big reasons not to do this?
