Not sure why you’d go for a low-profile cooler with such a big case. You’ve got plenty of space for something bigger! Also, I’m a bit skeptical of the Klevv SSD; I’d recommend looking for something with a faster NAND. Check out alternatives that are known for speed.
Really solid build! The only thing I’d question is the graphics card; have you looked into the 5060 Ti? It might be cheaper and perform similarly. Overall though, it looks good!
Thanks for pointing that out! The 5060 Ti is about $30-40 cheaper, but I love the design of the 9060. If performance is close, I might stick with it.
I appreciate the advice! I was drawn to the heatsinks on that cooler, but I’ll definitely check for larger options. As for the SSD, I'll do some research on your suggestions.
