I'm working on a micro ATX build and would love to hear your thoughts! Here's the part list I'm considering: an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE CPU cooler, an ASRock B850M Pro-A WiFi motherboard, and a PNY OC GeForce RTX 5080 video card. I'll be overclocking, which is why I selected a 1000W power supply. I'm also thinking about bringing this to various locations, so if you have any recommendations for an AIO cooler or suggestions for better components, I'd really appreciate it!

Have you thought about swapping your case? While the Li A3 is decent, you might need to invest in a few more fans for better airflow. Also, consider finding a monitor that's height adjustable if you can.
I recommend steering clear of ASRock motherboards right now, especially with your Ryzen 9 CPU. And honestly, you probably don’t need a 1000W PSU for overclocking; something around 850W could do the job just fine.
Got it, so any alternatives for the motherboard?
You might want to rethink the ASRock motherboard with that CPU combo. If you're not into CPU-bound games, a 7800X3D could also serve you well. Check out my adjusted build list if you’re interested!
That’s smart! But is it safe to take a tempered glass case on the road?
