Fully agree.
Also to have a more quiet experience:
- do not overspend on a (useless) GPU card. Use the built-in gfx from the CPU, or buy any recent fanless gpu card.
- get a quiet CPU fan.
- go for an Alder lake (or Raptor lake) Intel i7 that has “e-cores”. (These will be sufficient during recording sessions and may even run fanless.)
- avoid mechanical drives, use SSDs only.
- clean up your Windows install from useless bloatware that consume resources in the background.
- and +1 also on the PSU recommendations above. You can find a PSU able to completely stop its fan when running cool enough, especially if you oversize it a bit.
