Hi, I'm looking for some help selecting a case. This is for a computer that will sit in my living room next to my TV as a console replacement, but I'll also want to carry it around easily.

My build will include probably a Ryzen 5 and possibly an RX 480 (as I already own one). I'm also looking to use m2 SSD drives for storage, so I won't need drive bays. I won't be overclocking or doing SLI.

In addition to case recommendations I need to ask - am I being overly ambitious wanting to build a gaming itx machine?
