I've been pondering a SFF for a while and finally started doing the ground work to figure out just what's required. Basically my lug of 10 years needs retiring so here's my list so far. For now it's about providing a massive upgrade to what I'm used to; in time I may look at tinkering with OC. I'm looking for something truly compact and powerful to drive my games and also Revit 2019/2020 for a bit of work at home from time to time. Some of these proposed specs might be over- or underestimated. Case-wise I like the DAN A4 but from where I am it really is stupid money after the XC. The look and form though is what I like. Also like the Velka 5 and the Kolink Rocket. I really appreciate any feedback for a complete newbie and please correct or suggest where I'm steering in the wrong direction. Thanks!
Mobo - ASUS ROG STRIX X570-I (a bit of future-proofing)
CPU – AMD Ryzen 5 3600 (worth extending to the X?)
GPU - Powercolor Red Dragon RX 5700XT
Cooler - Noctua NH-L9a-AM4
Mem - Crucial B-32 (2x16) - bit of a stab in the dark, figure this will be dictated by the cooler too
Storage - Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB M.2 NVME
PSU - Corsair SF600
Additional cooling - unsure
Additional storage - unsure whether to run all ssd or drop in a 2.5"
