Currently, I've got a Corsair 100r mid tower that I built 6 or so years ago. I've been planning on doing a complete overhaul of this build as I am upgrading my cpu and (in turn) the motherboard with it. (Intel to AMD) I wanted to get some advice before I 100% invested in it.
I live in Canada, so availability of some parts is non-existant...
Here's the PCPartPicker link to the build

Considering the circumstances of the build, the only parts I'm planning to bring over are my Seasonic G 650W Gold psu, Sapphire RX580 Pulse and possibly reusing my two be-quiet Pure Wings 2.
After some of research, I settled on the ZZAW C2 to import from taobao (about $80 CAD). Is there anything I should know about such a case or layout? I am particularly worried about the airflow and thermals in such a case, as these sff cases don't typically get reviewed.

Any recommendations?

Is there any reason you are replacing the stock cooler with the Cryorig? The Wraith Stealth should be a good cooler.

This case looks like it has plenty of vents, and it is fairly roomy. I don't think you will have a temperature problem.

This is mainly to keep noise down and to guide air into more effecient paths, but I may be over thinking it. How's the noise on the Wraith vs the Cryorig M9?

I find the Wraith Stealth to be very quiet even when running at 100%. The M9 is rated for 120W TDP whereas this CPU is only rated at 65W. The M9 would be a far superior cooler but perhaps overkill for your application unless you intend to overclock and push your CPU to its absolute limits.

I have a C2 on the way as well, but from what I've read so far you might struggle with a full size MATX motherboard and an ATX PSU.

I get mine on Friday and will play around with ATX, SFX, and Flex PSU's to see what works :)

I've since done quite a bit of more research, modifying the build, but I know that mobo is fine cause it's smaller than a full size matx
