Custom cables for M3 build. And a few more questions from a newbie.

Hi again!

I'm planning this build:

Осьо

Ryzen 7 9700x
Asus TUF AMD B850M-PLUS
RTX 5080
Kingston FURY Beast 64GB 6000 CL30 amd EXPO
Corsair sf850
THERMALRIGHT Phantom Spirit 120 EVO

Яка має бути довжина відеокарти 5080 для цієї збірки та цього корпусу?

This week I plan to order components and the Ncase M3 case in turn. Should I bother with cable management inside? I see some people bought custom cables because they are short and soft. Will it be an unnecessary overpayment?

I would also be grateful if someone could tell me what I should buy for my build. Or not:) I think I saw video card holders somewhere, but I'm not sure if I remembered correctly.

Important clarification: I plan to transport the computer in hand luggage on the plane.

I would appreciate any other advice or warnings regarding my build.

NCASE M2 build. Is this advice from AI good?

Hello, good people!

I'm planning to build a computer in an NCASE M2 case. And I asked AI for a good build option. Can someone check if AI gave me good advice or not? I'm not very good at building, but I want to build a computer myself. And for now I'm only considering the NCASE M2 case.

My requirements:

video games in good quality, 2k
work in game engines, in particular in Unreal Engine.
not very loud during load. As far as it's possible for NCASE M2.
not very hot during load. As far as it's possible for NCASE M2.
if possible without water cooling because I'm planning to move, so I want to try to just put my PC in a backpack and fly with it on a plane. But I'm ready to consider water cooling as a backup option, so that before the flight I can remove it and put it in a suitcase. But AI says that water cooling is not very critical.
so that it will last for a few years.

AI's suggestion:

Ryzen 7 9800X3D
RTX 5080
ASUS ROG Strix B850-I Gaming WiFi. Or ASUS ROG Strix X870-I Gaming WiFi, but since RAM is very expensive, I think I'll take the B850-I.
64 GB DDR5-6000 CL30 Kingston Fury Beast
Corsair Corsair SF850 or SF1000.
Noctua NH-D12L

I'm also curious, can I buy a Corsair SF850 here? On the one hand, I want the highest quality build, and on the other hand, RAM is so expensive now that I want to save money where I can. Also, I'll be ordering components from abroad, so customs duties will also be added to them, which will also result in certain costs.

Questions about the size of environmental objects.

I noticed that in the game DMK sometimes I come across objects whose scale looks strange. Because they are gigantic. I partly understand why. It is for good shots and a feeling of spaciousness. Because in some cases the size of the objects around Dante looks adequate. But on the other hand, why make such huge stairs where it does not seem very necessary? It seems to me that smaller stairs would not spoil the shot. Although, now I look and think that they give mass in the shot, which does not need to be filled with something else.

In the case of tombstones, I suspect that this HUGE stone, whose height is at Dante's level, is also for expressiveness? As a location marker, because small stones look just... stones. That is, you could put anything of a similar shape there, but it is the shape and symbols of the central one - it gives clear signs (ominous) to this piece of the location. Right? Or what is the reason for such gigantism?

Also bookshelves. To be honest, I didn't notice it right away (nice job!), but when I started to follow the sizes after the steps I wrote about at the beginning, I saw that the books are big. It probably makes more sense to make 4 levels of books, but big ones, rather than 6-7 "normal" (1:1) sizes books, if we talk about comparing Dante's size and how the books should look next to him.

Maybe someone can suggest materials on this topic or something like that? Why does it work like that, in which games, and so on.
