Hey everyone! I'm new to building PCs and am hoping to create a compact, console-sized ITX build. I've been gaming on my Omen 15 laptop for the past five years, but it's getting quite loud and is starting to show its age. I want a setup that I can easily transport since I move around a lot, which is why I picked the Fractal Ridge case.
I've primarily chosen parts based on a YouTube build I watched that used the same case, but I've mixed in some of my own choices based on price and my preferences. I mainly play less intensive games like Stardew Valley and Persona, but I do enjoy titles like Elden Ring and Fortnite occasionally.
I'm looking for feedback on my selected parts: Are they any good? Should I adjust anything? Are there better options available? And most importantly, will the fans be super loud? I really appreciate any tips or advice you can share!

It seems like your PCPartPicker list is private, so I can't check it out directly. But keep in mind that ITX builds often come with higher costs and can be less powerful due to limited airflow and fewer fans, which might lead to more noise. You might want to consider these trade-offs before committing.
Thanks for the heads up! I've just fixed the link. I'm okay sacrificing some frames as long as I can get a stable 60 fps at 1080p. But the noise really worries me... Is there a good way to check fan noise levels before making a purchase?
