I can't suggest much but I did built an ITX before around year 2014 with a Bitfenix Prodigy. Depends on where you want to put it on top or below desk, then you like square/tall slim/rectangular long but short/ etc.. if you want to start from scratch suggest NZXT H1 (includes their own AIO, PSU, accomodates full size GPU) that's just arrived, or you can watch this guy on YouTube for his opinions.

All depends on your usage and space and your own preference, of course there are poor design SFF cases that is why you need to do your own research for those reviews online that have actual experience using those cases.

depends on what direction you're heading to. for ultra compact ones can fit in RTX 2070 mini single fan from Gigabyte

others can house the typical dual-fan design and triple fan ones.

so better spec out your system first, identify how your build gonna be then only choose the case

i cant spec out right now, just thinking at the moment, cause ill be moving out of country to work around september, so just wanted to just check around for now

you have to always spec out first for SFF builds because you have to make sure everything fits cuz of the size constraint and wont choke themselves out in heat. unlike normal builds, you decide on the casing first. And component dimensions and space clearance became the next most important thing which will be different between each models.. so you need to check for availability too. All of these combined made SFF builds not cheap.
