I've never built an ITX before, but I quite like the look of that case for some reason. Not entirely sure the cost difference between PCIe 3 and 4 is justified though.

Yes it is. Do you know what a pain it is to boot a system with Gen 4 card using a Gen 3 riser cable? You need a Gen 3 GPU or iGPU.

Yeah, Gen 4 PCI-e riser cables are what most people should be getting if they plan on using modern cards. It's not a matter of bandwidth; it's a matter of not being able to get anything else to work. It's 100% worth the extra €40 that they cost.
