Advice for new PC Build [UK]

[Sneling]

Hi everyone,

I'm building a new computer and would like some advice I've already put together a parts list below, but I had some specific questions other than general "will this work for me":
1. I want to make this build quiet, so I was thinking of undervolting the GPU slightly to decrease the heat produced and hence GPU RPM -- would this be appropriate here, considering the RX 6750XT?
2. For case airflow, is it recommended adding some form of filtering on the mesh, or is creating a slight positive pressure sufficient?


Current parts list [here]

Location: United Kingdom
Budget: 1300-1400 GBP

Aim:
- Gaming, up to games like Cyberpunk 2077 for now, with some light browsing in background
- Hobbyist 3D modelling in CAD software
- Run Windows/Linux VM, if possible
- Remote access this computer to game/use 3D software from a light laptop

Monitors/Peripherals: all already owned, but need a W11 Home licence. Current monitor:
- WQHD (3440x1440) with FreeSync (Dell S3422DW)

Thanks for any kind help and advice you may have !

yes undervolting could work

Most cases come with filters in front of the fan intakes and they don't affect the performance of the fan much

I'd go for this build

Alright, thanks for the advice everyone! I think saving on the air cooler and NVMe storage makes the jump to the next generation of processors slightly easier. I will end up pairing a R7 7700X with a RX 6750XT, as I cannot afford the next tier of graphics as well - unless sticking to AM4/a cheaper CPU would be more beneficial for performance?
