THIS close to buying an NR200P - anything else I should look at?

MSI 1070Ti Titanium - 2 slot card

This is my current setup - dead simple. You can't really see but I've moved the stock fans to the bottom for intake. Stupid thing is you can't fit the dust filter on the bottom if you're using the nifty rubber/pin mounting system. The pins stick out the bottom so the filter doesn't sit flush.

GPU reaches 65degC running furmark so I'm happy with that, but my Ryzen 3600 is sitting at 65~70degC with very light office use, which is no good. I'm now shopping for an AIO for the CPU. Going to mount it at the bottom and switch the GPU to vertical mount. Stock fans will go back to the top.

The other option is - https://www.wootware.co.za/scythe-s...-form-factor-premium-high-end-cpu-cooler.html

Also, @RebelTech has great specials on Noctua fans, so good time to buy now. I might just get black, to replace my browns.

My setup not too long ago.

2x 120mm fans top (slim) , 2x 120mm fans bottom (Slim) (all noctua fans), with a MSI Gaming Z 3080 and the above Noctua CPU cooler.

No thermal or sound issues. Also, I don't have TG version, as thermals was worse on it and I prefer the look I have now on it. Look, the NR200 has excellent GPU thermals, compared to even some of the best ATX cases, so there should be no issue on this and same can be said for the CPU, if done correctly.

Lastly, AIO is dumb, full of clutter and a hard loop would limit changing parts like I tend to do.

My 2 cents.
