Picking A Case

[ChaAli]

Hi, looking for some advice in regards to case choice.

I've seen a PC specialist revie on youtube of the gladius build. It seemed the graphic card barely fit in.
Any recommendation so that space is not an issue in any future upgrades?

Many THanks

I'll be using it predominately for gaming. Thanks for your help!
I am already on 2.2k (roughly) and I would prefer not to go much higher.

I changed my graphics card (due to the current 2-3 month waiting time currently)

Case	CIT PYRO RGB MID TOWER CASE Change to: THERMALTAKE V200 2.0 TEMPERED GLASS RGB EDITION GAMING CASE

Graphics Card

10GB ASUS ROG STRIX GEFORCE RTX 3080 - HDMI, DP Change to: 16GB AMD RADEON™ RX 6900 XT - HDMI, DP - DX® 12

So you've got a 1440p Ultrawide there. I would recommend changing your GPU down to the 3070 as it would be a better fit for the monitor. It would also save you a bit of money, and could possibly mean you would receive your order sooner than before, as 3070s are slightly less scarce than 3080s at the moment (no guarantee though).
