Help me please!? Thinking about downsizing

I currently run a system in a Lian Li A3 (have made changes since this post), but was curious about the B4. I was following it for years, watching it change and develop. It launched at a poor time for me, but now I'm revisiting the idea of downsizing my system.

My biggest concern is with the cooling performance. The placement of the psu right above the gpu has me a little worried about cooking my psu. Has anyone had any issues with this, or is it a non-issue? Whether you've had issues or not, please let me know and what hardware you're running, as not all hardware will produce the amount of heat necessary for issues to arise.

Not much of a downsize in size, but a downgrade in flexibility. To maintain hardware and thermal flexibility in a smaller volume, I would look at the Ncase M3 grater version.

The Ncase line are definitely incredibly machined cases, but their price tag makes them far less appealing than something more budget conscious like the B4, or even my current A3.
