What makes it "beginner"? As for ease to build in and cooling, when it comes to ITX, you need to give things up in favor of small size. Cooling is generally the first one to go. What hardware are you putting in it?

Easy to build in and I have a 9700x so I don’t need crazy cooling, but I’d feel more comfy with it

Have what? That will dictate the cooling. Putting a 5090 in an ITX case is going to be a hot box. A 5060, less so. As for being easy to build in, that is relative. Take your time, use sensible parts. Trying to cram a 360 rad in an ITX case can be a challenge. Using a low profile cooler can make it much easier. Once again, parts will dictate how easy or difficult the build is as much as the case.

And do you have a cooler already? Just get whatever looks best to you. One case won't be much easer than another to build in.

The "go to" for a number of years was the Cooler Master NR200. "Standard" component layout in that there are no risers involved and, in terms of SFF, pretty popular so lots of builds out there to draw inspiration from/answer questions about compatibility.

NR200 v2 is the updated model thats almost purely water cooling focused but never quite got as popular due to other options coming on the market but if thats something that interests you, by all means.
