For add all you need to look out for is a mini itx motherboard (or dtx in some cases), a sfx psu if required, cpu cooler the right height and a GPU which is the right length and thickness.

 

also if your new to pc’s and have never built one before I wouldn’t recommend going straight for a sff pc. I had built 4 PCs before my first sff pc and still found it challenging working in such a small space.

What are your use case for the pc?

If you do not going to do any heavy gaming intel nuc is probably your best bet or something like hp prodesk (unfortunately out of stock right now)

So.......... Building a PC for a new person is hard enough.  And building a niche PC is hard enough for a veteran builder.

 

Things like SFF and custom water cooling (not that this is your plan) make things very difficult often times resulting in buying the same equipment more than once because it didn't fit into the narrow parameters of your system.

 

What I mean is I have been building custom/diy computers since 2004 and when I tried to do a custom hard lined computer I ended up building two completely different computers before I was done.  Granted I knew nothing about the current PC hardware state and just started watching videos (due to a several year break from the hobby), but I spent so much that I could have built 2-3 normal computers with equal performance to the one I ended up with.

 

My situation is pretty extreme, but getting a "boutique" build to all work together is next to impossible for someone who has never built a computer.  Building a "beige box" that functions well is what you should be focused on (even if it's not beige).  I felt very very dumb building my custom loop PC and I'm competent in building PC's.
