As this is probably build request 1,000,000 from all the newbies (including myself) , I ma torn between the slick compact pieces such as the MSI Trident X at $1,599 US or Prestige P100 at $2,200 US which are in super slim slick cases and house the power I would want for gaming, some home music production, a little 3D work and general PC use. Every time I try a build, it's basically the same price for similar equipment. Any thoughts on my build below compared to the MSI Trident x? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Basics are that I'm leaning towards a I7-9700 or an I9-9900 and a Geforce RTX 2070super or 2080 in a Micro ATX case. I need compact and preferably not a vacuum cleaner running in my living room with my family nearby. I appreciate any thoughts or advice, especially if I have overlooked something. I'll only really upgrade when super necessary which I doubt would be for a while. I'm also concerned that I can fit the GPU ina Micro atx case without making a pure hotbox.
For comparison - the MSI Trident is super compact. has an I7-9700 and RTX 2070super GPU with 16 gb ramd and 1TB ssd
The MSI prestige is same size and has an I9-9900, RTX 2080super GPU, 32GB ram and 3TB storage Both have 650 wat power supplies.
