What do you think? Do you see any bottlenecks or budget balancing issues? I need it for CAD/CAM, 3D modelling, gaming (Cyberpunk, Witcher3 with raytracing, BG3)

The site says the cooler is not compatible, but according to noctua it is, if I mount the radiator underneath the cooling block.

Is the mainboard ok? I don’t see the benefits of the more expensive ones. All they have is PCI 5.0, which the GPU doesn’t utilise, and the riser card for the Terra is also only PCI 4.0

    My budget build Linux box;

    Since I put this together, I have now put a rx5700xt in it. The noctua 12S is setup in a pull configuration, because I wanted to keep air flowing up and out of the top of the case, while moving across the nvme bay at the top of the mobo.

    The cooler I fitted later to improve this.
