This is my second PC build:
My first build was last year:
So, I had to first choose a case. The S4 mini was too expensive / wouldn't get it in my hands anytime soon, so that was out. Then I came across Catz C1, but apparently the owner has disappeared. I was left with Logic Supply MC600, which is interestingly the first really small SFF case that I came across few years ago. You've been chosen MC600!
Then after tons of research over the past few weeks on this forum and elsewhere, I have come up with the following PCPartPicker list:

As you can see, all the purchases are done, but I am waiting for some parts to arrive by tomorrow and then I can start my build. The biggest pain is the Noctua AM4 mounting kit which would take forever to arrive, so I will be installing the Wraith Spire temporarily. I have no idea why Noctua doesn't include it in the product. I made sure to let them know that if I had any other choice, I wouldn't have got the Noctua cooler solely because of this reason, but unfortunately this is the only cooler that would fit in my case. Stay tuned!
