Seeking advice for a case, new builder so want ease and airflow performance, also any general advise on parts

According to intel's website the 12700k supports up to 3200 DDR4, so would save money here by downgrading to 3200 right?

Official support is for DDR4 3200 but these chips don't have a problem with faster ram, broadly. 

 

But if you are dabbling in overclocking, some ram overclocking might also be good. Get a decent 3200MHz kit and try to get it to 3466 or 3600 without sacrificing latency, should be fun.

For air coolers, consider these options:

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I needATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explainedgroup reg is bad
