I'm looking to build a small gaming desktop that I can easily travel with, and I have two sticks of DDR5 RAM that I want to use. I've been exploring small form factor cases, but I'm struggling to find a powerful GPU since standalone iGPUs like the 8700G don't offer much performance. I'm aiming for a build similar in size and power to a Steam Machine, although I'm open to some light compromises. So, what are some good GPU options for a PC build that's around 5-6 liters?

You have a couple of choices here: you can go for a low-profile GPU or a single-fan GPU. Given how compact your case needs to be (5-6L), the best option for performance right now would be the RTX 5060. There's also a single-fan version of the 5070, but that one might end up being quite pricey since it's a bit of a novelty right now.
Thanks for the tips! Your mention of single-fan GPUs helped me discover a lot of videos on tiny gaming PC builds!
