Accurate description of your position as a moderator, you fake mod.

I'd say go for the 5600XT. Couldn't imagine the kid doing anything strenuous with the card. You could probably undervolt it for him with a mild OC, too. Good luck with purchase! 

There's currently a banner on Neweggs site listing the shipping concerns 👍

The silverstone ML and GD series?

GD05 and 06 are mATX

If you care about aesthetics only, go with whichever looks the best.
 
If you care about performance, neither. Get the Phanteks P600s which has the same interior as the Evolv X but with a removable front plate for good airflow. 

At your current rate, you'll be at 519M by the end of the year

Building a PC for a friends son for Christmas. Ebay's scarce, R/hardwareswap has literally nothing, and I really dont want to make the kid wait. 
 
Newegg has both of these cards as cards I can buy


 
The issue I have with the BE card is it's a smaller and slower version of the 5600xt, but what I understand, the 5600xt is just faster, on par with a 2060. The last option is to loan the kid my personal GTX970 I'm not using (but am holding onto cause it was my first card EVER) until prices normalize, but I dont want to gimp the gaming experience and/or go back to their place in a month or two and update it. 

Cooler size is also gimped, so it's either gonna run hotter, louder or both is my fear. I cant find any mainstream reviews or teardowns. 
 
I bought my 1070ti's in ITNOS for less back in the day; I'd rather go with something more modern if it's gonna be used (I actually almost picked up a Full Fledged 5600XT Pulse for $305 but ebay bidding wars and all that )
 
I've been scouring FB marketplace too; which is a crap shoot since half of them dont know the value of their own left tow let alone a 6 mo old GPU with no box asking $350

I actually snagged this a few days before Black Friday for $40 (after MIR which I did submit)

Before 2018/2019, $40-50 after MIR was the standard price before import tariffs knocked PSU prices up. I've used the CX series in many builds including my personal build (4790k, 1080ti FTW3, CX550M) I only notice a coil whine when booting up FFXIV online, otherwise it's very quiet given my head is 2-3 feet away with open back headphones on. 
 
If you ask the PSUnerds, they'll tell you the M and Non M are different internally, with the non M being objectively better for protections, but both are good for budget-mid range gaming builds.
