Hey Folks,

I'm currently planning a build for my first PC. I have few questions related to compatibility and CPU cooler.

I understand B660 motherboard doesnt support 13th gen CPU out of the box, I specifically chose motherboard with Q-Flash plus (will allow me to update bios without having 12th gen CPU). Is my understanding correct on that? I don't think I can currently wait till 2023 for new gen motherboard that supports 13th gen CPU out of the box.

Another question, it seems like there aren't too many CPU cooler that support LGA1700 too well out of the box. For example, Corsair H100I would require me to purchase additional bracket to support it. I think this concept similarly applies to other AIO CPU cooler. Do you guys think its worth it (in terms of cost vs performance) to stick with AIO or should I consider getting Noctua NH-L9 (low profile air cooler)?

With 13th gen CPU and full-size graphics card, do you guys think 600W would be enough in terms of PSU, or should I invest a bit more to be safe for the 750W. SFF power supplies are kinda expensive.

Since its a SFF build, my biggest concern is spacing and component compatibility... Any advice would be great! Thank you for reading.
