Looks fine, and small;)

Have no experience working in such a small case, though. If CPU cooling becomes a problem, undervolting seems to be the way to go.

Good luck!

For that amount of money you could buy a laptop with a 3080 in it. That's what I would do.

It's fine overall, yet with the L9i, I would only use a 12100 or a 12400F max. They are both perfect for your 2060, so I doubt there would be any noticable performance difference, so no need to overspend here. A 12700 sounds nice in an NR200 with a giant air cooler. The L9 series are very nice, small and silent coolers - for the right cpu, which means 65w at most. Do get a fan duct as well with that case.
RAM can be just 16GB. A good 3200Mhz CL14 kit is ideal. Or 3600Mhz CL16. Best of both worlds would be 3600Mhz CL14.
But the build is fine otherwise. An SF600 Platinum would be perfectly enough as a power supply as well, but any future gpu upgrades in mind, the SF750 could be a good choice in the long run, especially if there's barely any price difference.

thanks for your reply, I plan on picking the 2060 for now and upgrading to 30/40 series further down the line once prices drop further - hence the powerful CPU and PSU. Do you think it will all fit in this case though? And is that a good board?

Thanks, that's always an option yes.
