What the title says. Thoughts on which would have better thermals, airflow, and aesthetics. I am torn between the 2 of them.

I am looking online and trying to find the case for what I am wanting. I think I have finally decided on the KXRORS S300. I found that it is the smallest case with a handle that can fit the GPU I have. It is a 5070TI zotac SFF. Online it says the length of it is 304.4mm, while the case itself can fit < 305mm length GPU. I know my question sounds absurd, but truly wanting to prep as best as possible and not make any returns while building.

I am currently making a list of parts for a build and have been trying to find a way to reduce my cost. So I looked at motherboards and see there’s a steep drop off from b650/b850 of around $160-180 and then a B620 I where the cheapest is $109? Is the B620 actually good enough to run parts like a 9700x and 5070 ti? Looking for advice.

This is my original post. I have changed the build slightly due to a trade I have made and now have a 7800xt 2 slot GPU (260mm), 9600x, 32gb of ram.

Planning a build, thought I wanted fractal Terra, but I really enjoy builds with a handle and wood grain. I’m striking out finding one.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ccgdmL This is my current part list, I also have a 2 TB drive I will be putting in it.

I previously built a micro ATX build with a 9700x and 5070ti in the Lian Li A3. Loved it, but sold it because I wanted to make some money... and then wanted to build a new build... but mini...

I would like to do one the fractal terra case, like everyone else of course, but I want to do it to where I can make it a pc that I use as my gaming system at my tv, but at a lower cost as I used half of the funds previously to help with repair costs of my car, damn engine...

Anyways, I would love to keep the budget around $1500 if possible, I can budge a little, but the master of the house is always watching... I am wanting to go 1440P settings, (max settings, yada yada). I am also wanting to make sure that it is future proof(ish). I know with the RAM prices, the RAM in my previous PC build cost me $100 for cl30 6000mhz 32gb that would go for around $600 now... I dont want that. I think I found a great pair, but looking to see if I can cut any costs, yet keep the great performance.
