CASE: Velka 3 2.0
MOBO: ASRock H670M-ITX
CPU: i5-12400
COOLER: NH-L9i
GPU: MSI 3060 Ti Aero
RAM: G.Skill Trident 16GB

STORAGE: 860 EVO 500GB & 970 EVO Plus 1TB
RISER CABLE: gen 4 (bundled with the case)
There is a heat wave right now, so normal temps are probably 3-5 degrees lower. I didn't use stress test software because I really don't do anything intensive. Just tested my most demanding and main game, Overwatch on 144 FPS ultra settings.
Idle: CPU 43, GPU 41
Under load: CPU 66, GPU 68
I got the 3060 Ti from Amazon Japan for $562 including shipping to the US, and it took 8 days to arrive. It is undervolted 875 mV @ 1830 MHz. The side panels are offset by 2mm to prevent the GPU from touching the side panel and my RAM, which is also 2mm too high. I wanted to reuse the RAM from my old build, not that I bought the wrong one.
Storage is from my old build as well. I will eventually replace the 2.5" SSD with M.2 because that's one less cable to deal with, and the mobo can accomodate two. Cable management felt like a nightmare at first because the cables were pretty stiff. It seemed impossible to close the front panel. After much pressing, the cables settled and I didn't have too much trouble closing it up. It could definitely afford to look cleaner, though. I may consider shortening the cables as a future project, but for now, I am happy with how it is.
When not playing games, it's silent. The fans are audible during gaming, but I wouldn't call it jet engine loud. I almost always play with headphones on, so it's not an issue either way. I can't really hear or discern the PSU fan because when the fans ramp up, the GPU fan is the loudest. If you are sensitive to noise, it may be difficult to tolerate this case.
I upgraded from SG13 (will always have a soft spot for that microwave), so the difference in quality is massive. The case is just so lovely and I can't stop admiring it. The wait was worth it. I tend to hold onto my builds for many years, so this one should last quite some time based on my usage.
