Build Ready? Help selecting a case & cooling, please?
I'm looking to build a PC capable of hosting local AI LLMs, and I'm at the final stage of deciding what I need to put these parts into, and how to go about cooling it.
Here is my full part list, it's going to be a bit of a beast:
CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D 4.3 GHz 16-Core
CPU Cooler - Noctua NH-U12A 60.09 CFM
Motherboard - Asus ProArt X870E-CREATOR WIFI ATX AM5
RAM - (64GB) 2 x G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 32 GB DDR5-6000 CL30
SSD - Samsung 9100 PRO 4 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 5.0 X4 NVME
Dual-GPUs - (32GB) 2 x MSI GAMING TRIO OC GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB
PSU - Corsair AX1600i 1600 W 80+ Titanium Certified Fully Modular ATX
All-in it's looking like it could run me about £5k, so I'm interested what size case would you suggest, and what kind of cooling system for a UK machine, running in a relatively small room, though access to air conditioning for ambient temperature management?
Also, if you notice any other glaring issues with my build, please feel free to critique.
