Looking to migrate into a SFF PC from my ATX build, will this part list work?

Trying to move my ATX PC to a SFF PC case, will these parts work?
I'm looking to move to a SFF PC on a budget and have the smallest possible footprint, would these parts work with my current build?
I currently have a RTX 4070 Super FE GPU, 9800X3D CPU, and 1 4TB 3.5" HDD My budget is around $400.
I have found these parts online and I think with this I should be able to make the switch, but I would like another set of eyes to go over them.

I'm trying to have the smallest footprint as possible, I'm on a pretty tight budget. I work full time on my system so having the ability to just pick it up and move it downstairs easily is what matters most.
Its not really fun gaming in the same chair I work all day in :(

I would not limit yourself to the SG13 case. I understand wanting something with a small footprint, but it’s limiting your motherboard selection and the mITX one in your list is not great - it’s a barebones budget A620 chipset.
Suggestions below that use a very compact mATX case with a handle for better portability, a better motherboard, better cooler, better airflow and better quality PSU for $350. * CPU Cooler: The Thermalright Royal Knight is a better cooler than any 120mm AIO. * Motherboard: Much better B850 mATX motherboard - better everything (VRM, headers, ports, data lanes, connections, faster wifi and Bluetooth). * Case: The Jonsbo C6 Max is larger by volume, but foot print is not much bigger - only 1.5” longer and actually almost 1” narrower. It’s taller since it’s an mAtX case, but has a carry handle for better portability. It also fits large air coolers, large GPU’s, and ATX power supplies. * Power Supply: Better quality 750w ATX 3.1 unit.

Are you truly running everything from a spinning disc hard drive? I know prices are stupid right now but if you are, I would strongly encourage you to at least move to a sata ssd for system if an nvme is out of the budget. A small 128gb or 256 shouldn’t be crazy expensive and it will feel like a new machine.
Your aio is way too small for a 9800x3d. If you can’t get a 360 in the case you’re building, go with air. You will absolutely murder that poor thing with a 120. Even a 65w cpu would struggle.
Go with a thermalright phantom spirit if it will fit and you’ll save money too.

Hi, thanks for the air suggestion! I actually already have that cooler, I'll double check to make sure itll fit I honestly assumed it wouldn't.
Right now I have my main storage on a 2TB M2 SSD, the 4TB is for my extra games + Plex server.

Ok cool on the ssd. Take a look at my other comments, I’ve edited a bunch of times after looking at the rest.

Hey, I have a hyte revolt 3 case that has a handle if you want it. But for most SFF builds especially the smallest ones, you’d need a SFX psu.
The Jonsbo D32 will take a full PSU.
If you want the revolt 3 case, just buy me shipping label. DM me.

I've built in a few SG13s and find them to be a pain in the butt.
Consider looking at an NR200
