I've been using the above PC for more than 6 months and everything is going good so far (temp and performance wise) I do light gaming with it and mostly use it for my job as a freelance software developer or designer.
At the moment I am required to travel from one country to another country every two weeks. Usually I bring my laptop and monitor with me but my laptop is very slow. So I am thinking of transforming my current build into more small form factor so I can fit it into my luggage/backpack.
Looking at my current build, I realize that I can probably reuse most of my parts and change only a few. This is my desired SFF PC (Changing only the Case, Power Supply, and Cooler). I know that the processor is very hot for SFF, I'll have someone experienced to Delid it for me next week

I need help
1. Please kindly suggest/recommend me CPU Cooler if possible
2. Do you think this is doable? As in constantly moving parts from one PC to another, any downsides?
3. Any other Case suggestions/recommendations?
4. Do you think the Power supply is enough or any recommendations?
5. Any Fans recommendation?
Thanks again!
