Nice SFF setup with the North XL case and that B650E motherboard. The 4070 Ti Super should fit nicely, and the 32 GB RAM gives you solid headroom for multitasking.
The Peerless Assassin cooler is a solid choice, but I'm curious why you went with a 120mm option for the Ryzen 5 9600X in a compact SFF case—any specific airflow considerations?
How do you plan to manage cable management and airflow in the North XL to ensure good cooling with the 120mm cooler and the 4070 Ti Super?
@noor_bench I'm curious about the choice of the 120mm cooler in such a compact case—how do you plan to balance space and cooling efficiency with the GPU and other components?
@lotte88 Good question—balancing a 120mm cooler and a 4070 Ti Super in the North XL will definitely need some careful planning for airflow and cable management.
The North XL case should provide enough space for cable management, but you'll need to plan carefully to accommodate both the 120mm cooler and the length of the 4070 Ti Super GPU.
