Hello,
I am going to build a new SFF PC for 2020 (even though I want to have it finished by mid-october).
It is going to be strongly based on this, but using some different internals:

I would, hereby, like to post the full spec list in order to receive advice, as I am by no means an expert in PC hardware and software and thus posting here and receiving constructive feedback may solve any potential doubting I still have. I do want to go for that case as it's the perfect size for my small gaming space; I understand that it's a constraint but it's quite important and giving it up can become a consideration but initially it's mandatory. Anyway, constructive reasoning against the case is more than accepted.
So here goes the spec list:
Stuff from GEEEK
GEEEK A30 Case https://www.geeekstore.com/store/case/
Custom PSU (from GEEEK's website) 400W https://www.geeekstore.com/shop/custom-flex-atx-modular-psu/
PCIe Riser from GEEEK as well https://www.geeekstore.com/shop/li-heat-pci-express16x-extension-adapter-riser-cable-300mm/
The rest (from Amazon or other spanish web stores for IT)
MB: Asus Strix B450-i
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
GPU: Zotac RTX 2060 Super MINI 8GB
RAM: G.Skill Trident Z 3200 2x8GB
CPU Cooling: Cryorig C7 (Cu if can find in stock in Spain)
SSD: M.2 PCIE Crucial P1 1TB

Questions:
- My monitor is a DELL U3415W 34" Ultrawide with 3440x1440 resolution at 60hz. I seek to play maxed or nearly-maxed on native res and 60 fps. What do you think?
- Is 400W enough to power all of this? Unfortunately they don't offer 500W so the jump would be towards 600W.
- I will need to update BIOS on the MB for the Ryzen 3rd Gen. Is that risky? I might ask the shop to do it for me just in case.
- I would go for RTX 2070 but I can't find a sizeable GPU to be fit into that case (211mm length max), only the 2060 Super is fit so far and it's also 2 fans which is a plus.
- Should I go for Ryzen 5 3600X if it's 50€ more? It also comes with another cooler but I am told that the stock coolers are so so, also fitting inside that SFF case is a concern.
