Join the Discussion - To hell with nVidia's definition of SFF ready. What should be the actual SFF standard?

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?
