Interesting. Haven't used an MSI board in ages. Can I assume good linux compatibility with everything on it? That's another thing I forgot to mention. I don't run Windows anymore. The Phantom Spirit cooler gets higher RPM. I'm not worried about noise, cause the tower isn't in the same room. I have all my PCs, UPS, and consoles on a shelf in the basement with 16ft cables coming through the floor. Partpicker isn't showing this specific one for some reason, just an old model from a different amazon seller. https://www.amazon.com/Thermalright-Phantom-EVO-Computer-Cooling-dp-B0CL9W968Y/dp/B0CL9W968Y?th=1 Never heard of Montech and always done Gskill RAM. Definitely willing to go with a different GPU though. Thanks for the warning on that.

• CPU Cooler: The Phantom Spirit is the slightly better newer version of the Peerless Assassin, and currently is less expensive (Amazon Prime Day). sorry for jumping in, but what about the Royal Pretor Ultra? How does that compare the Phantom Spirit? it's kinda confusing since there's 3 (no display) variants of the 120mm Phantom Spirit Phantom Spirit 120 (base ver.: x2 TL-C12B V2 FAN, 7 heatpipes) Phantom Spirit 120 SE Black (from what I can tell it's just the base model but shorter radiator? L110 mm x W125 mm x H154 mm vs L110 mm x W125 mm x H157 mm of the base ver. -- same x2 TL-C12B V2 FAN, 7 heatpipes) Phantom Spirit 120 EVO (same dimensions of the base ver. L110 mm x W125 mm x H154 mm, but the fans are changed to x2 TL-K12 FAN) Royal Pretor 130 Ultra is longer but wider than the EVO at L130 mm x W112 mm x H158 mm, and uses x1 TL-K12 FAN and x1 TL-HD13-X28 FAN According to the specs, the Pretor has better airflow and air pressure (? I averaged the flow and pressure of the different fans on the Pretor, not sure if that's the right way)and the Pretor ($38 after $4.50 coupon) is cheaper than the EVO ($46.90) (the digital ver. of the EVO at $44.72 is cheaper for some reason
