Good day folks,Old time gamer with an 8yr old mid tower i3 having GPU issue, bought an EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 last Oct but turns out to be MB instead. Bought Ncase M1 which arrived Jan and have finally decided to build her out. Yes, I’m going to use this GPU as I’m not gaming on a regular basis ... getting old ... but will look at options later. The i5 CPU was only picked for cost perspective and have looked at going i7, again I’m not gaming much.My struggle is deciding to cool the CPU with Air or Water and reaching out to get advice on which way to go. I’ve picked a few options for Air and Water to get feedback on the fit with case and MB.CPU: Intel Core i5-10400 2.9 GHz 6-Core ProcessorCPU Cooler - Air:Noctua NH-C14Noctua NH-U9S 46.44 CFMNoctua NH-L12S 55.44 CFMCPU Cooler - AIO:Corsair iCUE H100i RGB PRO XT 75 CFM LiquidNZXT Kraken X53 73.11 CFM LiquidMotherboard: MSI MEG Z490I UNIFY Mini ITX LGA1200 Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Storage: Samsung 970 Evo 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER 6 GB SC ULTRA GAMING Case: NCASE M1 Mini ITX Tower CasePower Supply: Corsair SF 600 W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully Modular SFXBottom Case Fans: (2) Noctua NF-A12x25 PWM 60.1 CFM 120 mm
