My main concern was the difference between the BIP and the BIX. The BIX is much thicker and therefore I figure it takes a lot more fan power to push air through it. And so I thought that if I would like a quiet system then I may need to go for the BIP which doesn't require as much fan power. But like you said, it's good to "future-proof" as much as possible in case I add more or hotter components later. . . .

So, all in all, I think I may stick with the BIX III.
Yeah, I was refering to the temps on the II vs. III not the size. I know they are different sized overall.
