thank you for this!

would I be able to use my current case? No need to buy another assuming all these parts fit.

Case:

GPU max length
310 mm with the top HDD cage installed or 440 mm with the top cage removed

GPU:
Max GPU Length 305 mm

pretty dang close lol

also that case will probably give heating issues with this new setup

length clearance of one i posted:
GPU LENGTH CLEARANCE
395mm

Fair enough. Going to order later today. Thank you for the time!
I was looking around for possibly another case similar to the one you chose, are there any without the clear sides?
If not, no big deal.

Not that I know of with Lian Li, but it's like a smoked temperered glass not too clear. You can also turn off any RGB on the motherboard/gpu settings if you're really wanting zero.

Thanks for your help. Purchased last night. Everything is arriving tomorrow except for the case & ram should be early next week.
