Cooling? Form factor? Noise?
Here is my proposed build:
Maybe
This is my first dip into building a system, so I get to make lots of newbie mistakes.
I am primarily a software developer, not a gamer, and I do some basic video editing. I tend to run a number of VMs (Linux, various Windows versions). My current desktop box is over ten years old and has run out of gas in multiple dimensions.
As you can see from the build, I want a fair amount of CPU, SSD, RAM and not much else. I don't need flashing LEDs and I don't have a lot of room for a huge case. Noise is also a concern. Budget is not a huge issue. My main question is, given the small case and no fancy cooling, will this proposed system simply burn up?

Hello @BrrBrrBrr
Thank you for posting on the Micro Center Community! Your case will come with two fans which should be more than enough to keep your system cool assuming the room is also pretty cool.
The build looks good otherwise, with no changes I would make.
