About to purchase the following setup:
CPU: i7-14700k
MOBO: ASUS STRIX B760-I
CPU Cooler: Corsair iCUE H100i Elite Capellix XT
GPU: Zotac Gaming Trinity 4070 Ti Super
RAM: G.Skill Ripgaws S5 64GB (2x32gb)
PSU: Corsair SF1000L (Yes, extra capacity)
Case: Dan A4-H20
Planning a compact case due to frequent travel. I’m concerned about overheating with just a 240mm AIO and no additional fans. I’d prefer the smallest possible case, but if upgrading to a larger one like the NR200P Max would bring noticeable gains, it might be worthwhile.
Anyone have advice on whether this build will perform well or if switching to the NR200P Max with a 280mm AIO is recommended? Would that upgrade improve the system’s performance?
Many who enter the SFF world create a mock model using cardboard to grasp the actual space the case occupies and its size when carried. This helps assess how much room it takes and what dimensions are practical for transport. I bring this up because others often overlook the unique difficulties of SFF builds, which usually lead to more than expected disappointments compared to those who have built smaller or full-sized cases before.
It might be wise to check build guides for that model:

I started looking into ITX builds a few years back, specifically for a Lian Li case I was initially provided as a file server. Constructing in such a compact case requires careful planning, considering factors like cable connections, cable length, and placement. Good wire management is essential to avoid airflow problems.
The chosen case seems to have an intake for the PSU. It’s recommended to use the fresh air method there. Pumping hot air through a power supply is generally not advisable.
I believe you'll be fine.
However, you won't reach the peak performance a 14700K can offer.
Still, a bit lower is quite acceptable.
This video helps clarify its value for gaming:

The only drawback of a 1000w psu is its higher price.
But it will run smoothly and stay within the most efficient part of its capacity.
If budget isn't too tight, opt for a non-K processor.
They have a 65w TDP and don't require special cooling.
The i9-14900 will reach 5.8
Of course, it's a bit pricier.
The i7-14700K will hit 5.6
Or the I7-14700 will be slightly lower at 5.4
Never thought about trying an i9 14900 non k.
Online comparisons for that model versus the 14700k are limited, especially when looking at the 14900k version.
Will this result in a performance boost or a minor decrease? For gaming and professional use?
It seems temperatures would likely improve with the 14900.
