I want something like this https://www.google.com/search?q=Coo...ECAsQAw&biw=1920&bih=937#imgrc=_Z4Kt9iwzFXizM:

I need a case that I could move around easily

Would this case fit these specs in:

PSU: Seasonic M12II-520 EVO 520W 12cm Fan Fully Modular 80+ Bronze SS-520GM2
Ram: RAM PATRIOT PVS432G300C6K VIPER STEEL SERIES 32GB (2X16GB) DDR4 3000MHZ DUAL KIT
Mobo: ASRock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming K4
GPU: VGA XFX AMD RADEON RX580 GTS XXX EDITION 8GB GDDR5 PCI-E RETAIL
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700 3.20GHz 16MB YD2700BBAFBOX
SSD: SSD SANDISK SDSSDH3-250G-G25 ULTRA 3D 250GB SATA 3.0

Also, would there be a problem with cooling compared to a bigger case?

Do you recommend another similar case?

Your [ATX] motherboard is much too large for the CM Elite 130, which only accepts mITX mobos.

What defines move around easily to you? Weight? Size?

I need both smaller size and weight. I'm short like 1.7 and I'm kinda weak. It's a pain carrying around a midi tower but I don't want to sacrifice decent air flow and the specs that I bought.

Corsair Carbide 175R = $40 (13.5lbs) is pretty light.
Fractal Design Focus G = $55 (9.9lbs) - acrylic/plastic side panel window
About the lightest you get is around 9.25lbs, but that's getting pretty flimsy.

I don't like that corsair cases have openings on the upper part of the case, I'm paranoid about something dropping in and ruining the system.

Will this case https://www.coolermaster.com/catalog/cases/mini-tower/masterbox-lite-31/#DarkMirrorFrontPanel fit all my specs in? they say it's large enough even though it is considered mini

Quality cases tend to have mesh somewhere at the top. That won't allow solid things to get through except odd situations, like I guess a very lucky drop of a tiny needle? They will allow liquids to get through, but you should position your case in a location where it's unlikely that you'll spill liquids on it (and never sitting a liquid on top).
