This is the build I am considering against a smaller alternative

GPU pulse 9070 XT
CPU 9800X3D
MOBO MSI PRO X870-P vs MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI
RAM Kingston Fury Beast 64GB 2x32GB 6000MHz CL30
SSD Samsung 990 Evo Plus Series 2TB
PSU Lian Li Edge EG0850 80 Plus Platinum 850W ATX 3.1
CASE Lian Li O11 AIR MINI vs Jonsbo D30
COOLER DeepCool AK620 digital


I love the air mini, but started considering smaller Jonsbo D30 alternative since I am planning to have the PC on the table. I am however worried about sacrificing the thermals/air flow. PC is for gaming. With cheaper motherboard smaller pc would cost 80 less.

Thank you

If you changed the form factor for your motherboard, you could just look into the Fractal Design Define 7 Nano;

You might want to ask yourself, what are you saving with that 80. Speaking of 80, what currency are we talking about here, Dirhams, Indian Rupees, US Dollar, Malaysian Ringgit? What other cases do you have besides the two listed above?

Currency - euros.
Define 7 nano is an interesting option (80 euros more expensive). I am finding info that 9070 xt wouldn't fit in it..

I am happy to consider alternative cases but I I guess what I am mostly worried about is the general idea of small cases - no experience with them, always had big towers. I live in a hot climate, so how do they handle gaming cards like 9070xt..
