My children don't know the difference between a desktop case and a "hard drive" and I need to change that.

Obviously the motherboard choice and the PSU would need to change. My current 5700 gpu should fit just fine though. Any thoughts?

A good SFX PSU is about twice the price of an equivalent ATX.

You're extremely limited in air and AIO cooling, custom loop would work.

I wouldn't do a subcompact SFX build with a $900 budget, you're putting money into form factor instead of performance.

Hrm true. What if my budget increased to $1200 and i was more interested in the form factor over performance?
