Hi, I'm looking for suggestions for a small-ish build that could fit 1 SSD (~500GB) and 1 SATA drive (need around 6TB on this)
Performance wise, I think I'd be good with a Ryzen 5 2600X.

Could you recommend a cases, a great GFX that fits in and runs 2 1440p monitors, and perhaps any coolers that could also fit?
I know I could get 2 sticks of 8GB RAM so 16 should be enough for me..

I'm not much gaming, moreso for video editing and a good multi-tasking experience. But some gaming would be good!

Thanks.. sorry if this request seems too much for small cases. I'm not very good at this stuff. Cheers
 
How small are you looking to go?

An RVZ02B seems like a solid offering - 3.5" drive support, up to 330mm GPUs (although the 3.5" drive will cut down on GPU length available).....

Depending on the scope of your editing, a 1700X (or 1700 non-X) can be had for 2600X money. A step back to 1st Gen, but 2 extra cores, 4 extra threads....

Depending on what you're looking for exactly on the GPU front, something like this could be worth considering:

OR,


You could forgo the 3.5" drive for a couple of 4TB 2.5" HDDs (5400rpm), which would free up the entire 330mm GPU length.
Including an alternate GPU, just to give you an idea.
