Hello, i am looking for a affordable mini/micro atx case and found C2 and Golden Field N-2S (which is the rebranding case of Kolink Satellite Plus) quite interesting
Golden Field N-2S provides more space for components and longer graphic card (270mm)
I think both of them are not that good in term of air cooling
I m planning to buy Ryzen 5 3600 + SSD (probably M2) + 16 GB RAM + Nvidia Graphic Card ( RTX Super Mini 2070 if i choose C2, Super RTX 2080/2080ti if i choose N-2S)
I know there are better case but much more expensive and not available for now (Velka 5 case, M1 Ncase, Lian-Li TU150, Jonsbo A4, Ghost S1 Louqe...)
What are you thoughts about these cases?
Any recommendations?

Don't get the Jonsbo. don't. It has abysmal air cooling, the edges inside are sharp and it will make you hate the brand, like mine did for me.

I am going to order this case, i want to be careful about component compatibility
CPU Cooler < 60 mm - check
RTX Graphic card - check
Ryzen 5 3600/3700x - check
SSD M2 or NVME - check

I think its much better case than C2/Golden Field N-2S right?

Much more premium, but it requires a low profile cpu cooler vs the n-2s (up to 165mm). Also requires a sfx PSU which cost more than ATX varriants. (For cost efficiency, I'd say the n-2s wins, and it doesn't look too bad neither.... Not as nice as the zs-a4 however).

Thanks, ZS-A4 is such temptation!
I am willing to sacrifice cost and cooling efficiency for this case
Only if temperatures and air flow are acceptable
Btw if i choose graphic card, blower (founder edition) or custom?
Thanks

Because of the perforated aluminum side panels, go with an dual/triple fan cooler that will fit.

If it was solid glass, I'd recommend a blower, but because you have air flow, a custom cooler will help.

Anything wrong?
x570 vs B450?
I can find much cheaper B450 Mini ITX motherboards
I don't O/C, all i want its a decent motherboard
Power supply, 600w seems to be enough?!
CPU choice, 3600 fits to my need (only gaming and fairly basic usage such as youtube, web, mail)
