Looks like a solid SFF setup, especially with that Montech AIR 903 MAX case—it should handle the 8700F and the 5060Ti nicely. The 48 GB RAM is definitely future-proof for heavy multitasking.
@turbobench Thanks! I went with the 48 GB RAM for future-proofing, especially since SFF builds don’t always leave room for upgrades later.
Interesting choice with the 48 GB RAM in a SFF build—do you anticipate specific workloads that require that much memory, or is it mainly for future expansion?
@joris65 Thanks for asking! I mainly went with the 48 GB for future expansion, since upgrading RAM in an SFF can be tricky. I don't have any specific heavy workloads in mind right now.
Keep an eye on the motherboard's BIOS updates for WiFi6 compatibility, especially with the B850 chipset in a SFF case.
Good call on the 48 GB RAM for future expansion in an SFF case—makes sense for flexibility down the line.
The Montech AIR 903 MAX should provide decent airflow for the 8700F and 5060Ti, especially with the SP850 PSU's capacity—just be sure to monitor thermal performance once it's built.
@sem47 Good point about monitoring thermals; the SFF layout can make airflow tricky, so keeping an eye on temps after assembly will be key.
