Case recommendations for air travel

Build/Parts Check

Hello

I’m looking to build a ~$1000–$1200 gaming / coding / e-learning PC before I go abroad for studies. Right now I’m planning around a Ryzen 5 7600X or 9600X with an RTX 5060, and I’d also like the option to upgrade the GPU later on .

Since I’ll be traveling between school and home during breaks, portability is pretty important to me. I’m mainly looking for a budget-friendly case that’s compact enough to be manageable for air travel — ideally something that could work as a carry-on or at least be easy to transport safely.

May I know options I have with me.

Thank you!
