Ultra-Silent/Invisible Gaming PC for RTX3070 [900€]

[jusseppe]

Goodmorning everyone,
as indicated by the title, I ask for an opinion for an ultra quiet build that attracts no attention as it has to go in a bedroom.

The GPU around which the build will be is an NVIDIA RTX 3070.

The budget, excluding video card and Monitor 32 "2K 144hz that I already have, is 900 €.

I have identified these components:

Case: Corsair Carbide Series 100R Mid-Tower, because it's silent, without transparent panels and RGB

Mobo - Variant A: ASUS TUF Gaming B660-PLUS WiFi D4
Mobo - Variant B: Asus Tuf H670-PRO DDR4 gaming WiFi D4
depending on which of the two will cost less at the time of purchase

CPU - Variant A: Intel Core i5-12400F
CPU - Variant B: Intel Core i5-12600k
here I am undecided, both are good for gaming, I have read that there are few FPS differences, with the first I would save something by not having the integrated intel video card, what do you suggest?

CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D9L, because I read that it is a guarantee in terms of build quality and silence

RAM: CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX - Memory kit, C16 3200MHz 32GB DDR4 DRAM (2 x 16GB), coming from 16GB now, I think it is wise to prepare for more use in the ucpoming years

SSD Variant A: WD Blue SN550 1TB M.2 PCIe NVME SSD, with read speeds up to 2,400MB
SSD Variant B: Crucial P5 Plus CT1000P5PSSD8 1 TB Internal SSD-Up to 6600MB / s, PCIe 4.0, 3D NAND, NVMe, M.2
I read that ultra-fast SSDs are overkill for gaming at the moment, so I don't know whether to "settle" for speeds below 5GB/s

PSU: Corsair RM850x 80 PLUS Gold, cause even if a 650 is enough, on paper, it is better to be future proof and have an efficient use of the PSU

CPU, get the 12600K, if price is close. If there's a noticeable difference, performance will be similar, especially if you're not overclocking.

SSD, doesn't matter. Get one with the best reviews and warranty, you're not going to notice any difference outside of benchmarks.

While I somewhat agree in the near term although feel NVME performance will become more important in the near future, I'd probably avoid that specific SN550 drive as WD tried to do the old after-review-switcharoo by sliding in inferior components into the same model.

Western Digital confirms speed crippling SN550 SSD flash change

Western Digital has confirmed that it changed the NAND flash memory in one of its most popular M.2 NVMe SSD models, the WD Blue SN550, which crippled writing speeds according to several reports, leading to a 50% performance hit.

thanks for the heads up! I think this one is better then:

Crucial P5 Plus CT1000P5PSSD8 1 TB SSD Interno-Fino a 6600MB/s, PCIe 4.0, 3D NAND, NVMe, M.2​
