This is the configuration I’m evaluating against a more compact option
GPU pulse 9070 XT
CPU 9800X3D
MOBO MSI PRO X870-P
compared to
MSI PRO B850M-P WIFI
RAM Kingston Fury Beast 64GB 2x32GB 6000MHz CL30
SSD Samsung 990 Evo Plus Series 2TB
PSU Lian Li Edge EG0850 80 Plus Platinum 850W ATX 3.1
CASE Lian Li O11 AIR MINI
versus
Jonsbo D30
cooler DeepCool AK620 digital
I appreciate the Air Mini, but I’m leaning toward a smaller Jonsbo D30 because I plan to place the PC on a table. I’m concerned about losing some thermal performance and airflow. This is for gaming, so a smaller board would save about 80 in cost.

I appreciate the air mini, but I’m thinking about smaller Jonsbo D30 alternatives since I plan to place the PC on a table.
If you adjust the form factor for your motherboard, you might explore the Fractal Design Define 7 Nano; Define 7 Nano.
This model reimagines precision with a sleek design and many features from bigger models in a more compact shape. The slim yet roomy space fits all Mini ITX and Mini-DTX boards, and it supports a GPU up to 306 mm, offering great flexibility.

You may wonder what you’re gaining by choosing the 80 model. Regarding currency, are you referring to Dirhams, Indian Rupees, US Dollar, Malaysian Ringgit? Besides these two options, what other choices do you have?

Currency - euros.
7 nano seems to be a compelling choice (80 euros more costly).
I'm looking for details that 9070 xt wouldn't fit into it.
I'm open to exploring other scenarios, but I think my main concern is the concept of small cases—no prior experience with them, always dealing with large towers.
I live in a hot climate, so how would they manage gaming cards like 9070xt?
