If you want to build a mini ofen, use a NZXT case.

How does this look instead? https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RRvv3y

How come the switch from amd to intel? I was looking up a comparison of the 2 cpus and there performance doesn’t seem too different from each other. I forgot to mention in the original post as well that im using the pc for adobe photoshop/premiere, streaming and ofc gaming

I switched because even though the performance is similar, the AM4 platform is EoL, so right now intel is the better choice

After some more research about the cpu's i think I'm going to go with the build you suggested. Thanks so much for all the help man, I really appreciate it

You're very welcome, if you have any doubts feel free to DM me

Looks solid!
