Opinions on this build and gear compatibility with NCase M1

[erotavlas]

Hi I'm trying to build a mini itx system into the NCase M1. CPU I chose is definite, not changing that.

Things I'm not sure about:

CPU cooler - not sure if its a good choice for the case - I already have it in my current i5 2500k system, so I was wondering if I could just make use of it and save the cost of a new cooler, i just need to get the mounting kit to adapt it to AMD

RAM - I think 3200 speed is enough can I do 3000? Should I worry about the size - i.e. how tall it is?

Video Card - This is a major unknown for me. First of all they are so expensive and there are so many variations its hard to choose. I think a RTX 2060 is the most I want to buy 6GB might be ok but I initially chose the ASUS Dual GeForce RTX™ 2060 OC edition 6GB GDDR6 and someone said that it sucks. I really don't want one of those mini itx cards with the smaller fans because they will be noisy. Any suggestions on this? I think low noise is secondary priority here after cost/performance.

What will be the main use case for the computer and what is your budget, $1500-$2000?

I looked around and it looks like the AMD RX 5700 XT or the nVIDA RTX 2070 Super might be in your price point and be good cards. Gamers Nexus does a lot of graphics card reviews and compares them. I would look threw their site (https://www.gamersnexus.net/) or youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/GamersNexus).

If you don't have a problem with used parts, you can even get a 1080ti on Ebay for about 500€. Optimum Tech made some videos about graphic cards and compared them with his 1080 ti.

I would recommend you to swap out the X570 board for a B450 (Asus B450 I Gaming) and put the money in a faster memory kit with 3600 MHz. Your Ryzen CPU will benefit so much from higher ram frequencies and timings.

The WD SSD i would change to an ADATA XPG 8200 Pro for nearly the same price.

Normally i would suggest to go with a 5700XT but i dont know how warm this setup would be in the M1 case. 2060 Super is also a very good choice and nearly on 2070 performance-levels.

For the cooler i would go with a small 120mm AIO like a Corsair H60 or a small NZXT.
