Hey everyone! I'm gearing up for my first small form factor (SFF) build and I'd love to get some thoughts on my parts list before I hit the buy button. Here's what I'm planning to use:
- **CPU**: Ryzen 7 7700
- **CPU Cooler**: Noctua NH-L9A-AM5
- **Motherboard**: ASRock A620I Lightning Wifi Mini ITX AM5
- **RAM**: Kingston Fury Beast 32GB (2x16GB) DDR5-5600
- **Storage**: Crucial P3 1TB M.2
- **GPU**: Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB
- **Case**: Fractal Terra Mini ITX
- **PSU**: Lian Li SP 750W 80+ Gold
- **Case Fan**: Noctua A12x15 120mm
The total comes to around €1292.84. I would really appreciate any advice on possible design limitations or suggestions for the components!

I suggest swapping the RAM for something around 6000 MT/s with a CL30 latency if you can. Faster RAM can make a noticeable difference in performance!
You might want to consider upgrading your motherboard to something like the B650i. It's got better features and will give you more flexibility for future upgrades.
What are the specific benefits of going with the B650i over my current choice?
I found a Crucial Pro Overclocking 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6000 CL36. Should I go for that?
