I'm planning to build Z490 system for a friend as a present once NVidia RTX3000 series become available. (cos I owe him heaps)
I want to build him something fast(using Intel CPU), very quite, and also small/light.
Which of following two system would be better in your opinion? and why? (they are identical, but just different case and mobo, price is in AU$, and obviously I'm just guessing the rough RTX3070 price oc)
CPU: Intel i7 10700K - $688
HSF: Noctua NH-U12S - $129
M/B: MSI MEG Z490I Unify - $479
RAM: 32GB G.Skill Ripjaws V 3200 - $249
GPU: MSI RTX3070 Gaming X - $900
SSD: 2TB ADATA SX8200 Pro - $413
Case: Lian Li PC-TU150 (White) -$185
PSU: Corsair SF750 - $239
TOTAL: $3,282
CPU: Intel i7 10700K - $688
HSF: Noctua NH-U12S - $129
M/B: MSI MAG Z490 Tomahawk - $358
RAM: 32GB G.Skill Ripjaws V 3200 - $249
GPU: MSI RTX3070 Gaming X - $900
SSD: 2TB ADATA SX8200 Pro - $413
Case: Sliger Cerberus X (White) - $499
PSU: Corsair SF750 - $239
TOTAL: $3,475 (extra $190 or ~6%)
Advantage of Lian Li PC-TU150 - $190 or 6% cheaper, can get all the parts fast locally.
Advantage of Sliger Cerberus X - proper ATX system but still smaller than TU150 ITX, better quality case.
p.s. I have 10700K atm with Noctua NH-D15 and it runs very cool. So I think Noctua NH-U12S should be fine for stock 10700K. But I can change the cooler to Noctua NH-U12A on PC-TU150, and to Noctua NH-C14S on Cerberus X.
