I'm a complete noob trying to go for a compact mini-ITX build. Use case is mostly PS/Blender/light gaming. I'm not sure if these parts will work with each other, if they will actually fit, or if the thermal situation checks out. Any advice is appreciated! (Power supply is a placeholder)

Makes sense to me! The only thing you will need to watch out for is if the CPU cooler will fit into that case. You may need to go with a more low profile option. 

ask me about my homelab

on a personal quest convincing the general public to return to the glory that is 12" laptops.

cheap and easy cable management is my fetish.

Thanks! Do you think I'm gonna have to fill up the 2 optional fan slots? I don't know how hot a PC like this is gonna get.

Put in a b550 board and a low profile cooler (usually this one is more expensive)
