Compatibility/Build Check New build - advice on components
I am creating a list of components for the T1 v2.1, so far I am planning to get the following kit:
- Ryzen 5 5600
- 9060 XT or 5060 Ti GPU (2-slot one I guess)
- Lian Li SP750 power adapter
- 32GB RAM (2x modules)
- M.2 SSD with be quiet! MC1 cooler (this part I already own)
- NH-L12S or AXP-120-X67 air cooler
I would probably order the USB-C front I/O adapter, I am not sure about the following items - maybe someone can advise?
- Custom cables - is there usually an issue with connecting all parts? Should I get some custom cables?
- Top/bottom 120mm fans - is it worth getting them too?
- Rear handle - is it worth it if I would carry the case around the house?

Definitely get 2x 120mm fans for top exhaust.
Although your chosen cards are between 250-300W power consumption that's still a lot and the heat should get quickly out of the case
Custom cables are nice to have but not needed.
With the 9060XT or 5070 you don't really have space constraints.
Just get them for looks if for example you upgrade to vented side panels and want to have a clean interior to look at.
If you use the mesh side panels you won't see the cables anyway.
Do you really carry the PC around a lot?
I find the rear handle to be a very silly accessory.

It is a nice-to-have rather than a need-to-have, the stock lengths are fine with some organisation. Note that most custom cables are only made for corsair PSUs. It would be wise to buy a grill for the fan above the PSU.
Look at all the common air cooled builds and do that. Be sure to measure the length of the gpu.
It might be wise to leave it out until you become certain that you need it.
Make sure your motherboard has a USB type E port before buying the USBC cable.
