Advice SFF build help - teen gaming comp

[Sempsis]

Building a SFF for transport between my house and my ex's house for the kiddo.

What did i miss? I already have a hdd and sdd.

I am 100% open to any suggestions (case needs to be small, light weight and portable (handle is needed)).

Swap the 8700F for a 9600X (if you want to save some $) or 7700X (if you need 8 cores). The 8700F is gimped, cut down to only support PCIe 4x8.

Thanks. Will check that out!

I think the power supply is a bit overkill - a quick check on a PSU calculator shows the system should peak just below 450 watts. Then again, things aren't exactly getting more efficient as each generation of hardware comes along :/

Hopefully Deepcool and Be Quiet have their measurements right - the cooler is 168mm high, the case lists 172mm CPU cooler clearance. Tight!

Thanks! Yeah i grabbed some of this from another person's build on pcpartpicker. They showed it fitting, but could easily be way to tight.

Looks solid overall, but that RAM price is insane You can get good 32GB DDR5-6000 kits way cheaper. Also the Dark Rock Pro 5 feels overkill for a portable SFF build, maybe go with a smaller cooler to save weight/space. Everything else looks pretty nice for a transport setup.

$359 for 2x 16GB@6000 is not bad. I don't know where you can get <way cheaper> prices in the currently AI RAMpocalypse situation.
