Hi!
I am looking for a slim, lightweight atx case as small as possible. I don't find many options. Any recommendation?.
 
Most of the time you would just build a mini ITX system (or maybe micro ATX) if you wanted something lightweight and a small as possible. A full size ATX case is never really going to fit the bill.

I would maybe recommend checking out the Thermaltake Core G3, it might work for you.
 
I have built dozens of mATX machines and you can get them very small and light. One with half height card slots usually get's it pretty light.
 
Heatsink will need to be changed. Also go ITX. Unless you need expansion card slots, no need. Example of a decent case

Also look at this heatsink. Perfect for ITX/Small form factor builds

Scythe Shuriken 2 CPU Air Cooler, 92mm Low Profile (58mm Tall), Intel LGA1151, AMD AM4/Ryzen

I use this Mobo with my 3600x with no issue:
ASUS ROG STRIX B450-I GAMING AM

You have a quadro card in there (you a CAD guy?). That's a full size card. You won't be able to do anything slimline with that card. Also, your cooler as others have said is too tall for slimline or half height cases.

If you want those two components you're going to need a standard height case. No two ways around it.
