How difficult is it for a first-time builder to build in a mini-ITX case?

I was wondering how difficult it would be for a first-time builder to build in a mini-ITX case such as the NZXT H210? Also, would the case be able to fit the RTX 2060 Super Founder's Edition? Thanks :)

Mini-itx can be a bit difficult with cable management and such, but absolutely do-able. Your main concern will be making sure all your parts are compatible with the space you're building with. PCpartpicker does a pretty good job of checking part compatibility, so try putting your setup in there and see what fits with what. Other than that, it's a pretty normal build experience. I think the FE will be able to fit in there, but make sure to triple check your parts. Measure twice, cut once, etc, etc.

A case like that I feel is no more cramped than smaller microATX or regular ATX cases. If you were working with a sub 15L case, then I'd say you'd be in for a real challenge.

 

The Founder's Edition should fit. Most cards except the super top-tier ones are typically 12" long and a lot of cases account for this.

^^^ Yep. Cable management is a teeny bit more of a hassle, but it's not too bad (I've built in the H200, this should be a near identical internal layout I assume). Unless you used something like an NH-D15 it won't be much bother at all though.

Ok great
