I recently built a PC and had a webshop handle the assembly, but I didn't pay much attention to the case I selected. It turned out to be a Micro-ATX case (30 liters). Everything fits well since I've added extra cooling fans and I've run several stress tests without any overheating issues. However, I'm a bit uncertain about using such a compact case. Will there be any problems down the line? My GPU is a 9070xt and my CPU is a 7700x.

Since everything fits correctly, you've likely got a Micro-ATX motherboard as well. Just a heads up: there's a huge range of quality among Micro-ATX cases. The negative reputation comes from people using low-end boards in combination with big ATX cases, which isn't ideal. As long as your case is decent and has good airflow, you're in the clear!
You shouldn't run into any issues if the case is of good quality. There are even smaller cases out there, like ITX, that keep decent temps, so Micro-ATX can definitely work well too.
As long as your components fit in the case and there's good airflow, you should be fine! It sounds like you’ve set things up perfectly with your additional cooling. No need to stress about the size as long as everything runs smoothly.
If your setup is primarily for gaming, you're good to go! Just keep in mind, if you want to upgrade your motherboard later, you'll need to stick with a Micro-ATX board if you plan to keep using this case. But honestly, if airflow is good, you shouldn’t have any worries.
