I'm a big fan of the Lian Li 215 for a relatively low cost easy case with good airflow, that 216 seems to be a nice improvement for hopefully around the same cost.

My first SFF build using a Lian Li Tu150. B550/5600x/32gb ram/ MSI 3080. Yeah it's a bit overkill but it's mostly second hand parts with some creative shopping. Really fun to build in, in some ways easier than a mid tower, helps to have smallish hands, I think I did decent cable management so there is decent airflow. Not too much RBG, the 3080 is pretty comical in there but it fits! The carrying handle is awesome and i'm surprised most SFFs don't seem to have them. Motherboard was just about right with the headers I wanted, only complaint is that the front audio connector is in an awkward place. I think the case could use an extra half inch or so taller feet so the GPU can draw in more air but I didn't really see temps much higher than my mid tower during testing.

You can get a 1tb Gen 4 SSD for less than that Samsung 970

Theres also a "used" version of that same motherboard for 153$ at the moment on Amazon, I personally got the same one and it arrived in brand new condition with all the accessories still wrapped, only the box was a tiny bit beat up. There also an X570 version for a little more, doesn't have a USB-C header if that matters.

Also I think the 750w version of that EVGA sfx PSU is about 70$ less, I know the 5800x uses a little more but I haven't had an issue with my 5600x and 3080.

edit: oh bugger didn't see you already bought the parts
