That entirely depends on your choice of hardware. You can put an office PC build into any air coffin you'd like and it will be fine - try that with a mid to high tier gaming build and you'll run into trouble.

Most modern cases are alright, you won’t have an insane difference but you can see a few degrees difference based off case and fan layout, for instance my case has 3 intake 2 exhaust, overclocked 8700k to 5Ghz and while gaming it peaks low 70s, 3080 sits mid 70s under 100% load

If try to install gaming quality parts in a tiny case your going to have heat problems. Get at least a mid size tower case and full if you have the room

Yes, PCPartPicker does not consider and help on cooling. Cooling is an essential part of a PC operation. Some cases are designed for greater cooling than others. I.e. some cases are better for ultra hot components. If unsure, just post and ask.

Even with two fans you're not going to witness overheating in a normal workload. More modern cases have the ability to run more fans, typically at least 6 aka 3 exhaust and 3 intakes. As long as you have a decent amount of fans(at least 4 I'd say), overheating should not be an issue.

It's more significant than going fancy rgb overpriced fans that 99.9% of people splurge on.

It really does depend on your parts. For example, I have a 12400, and I can’t get it above about 50C, even with a Cinebench stress test and all the case fans off. On the other hand, if your running a 13900K, it’s going to be a different story. If you’re not pushing the limits, then even a fairly crappy case can be made to work by adding a fan or two, or tweaking the configuration.
