If that was the case, how the hell did Linus get Yavone? He's short and pale as a ghost with bad hair and a bank account that seemingly just keeps up with the expenses at his business.

The motherboard should carry an extended 4 year warranty so I'd suggest contacting NZXT if you haven't already. 

When you do list it, please post the eBay link here.

If you want a case with built in lighting to be controllable by the NZXT Hue, then you have to get a case with NZXT Hue comparability.
As for cases that have a bit more room, I'd look for cases that can fit an EATX MB or are designed with water cooling in mind. Personally, I love my Fractal Design Focus G. With the HDD cage removed, there is plenty of room on the floor to fit you Hue or Hue+ control box. If you don't use SSD's exclusively, you can still fit it behind the MB tray because the side panel has a really deep recess for cable management and SSD mounting points.

It's definitely your RAM. At the very least I would stick another DIMM of the same RAM in. With that MB, the best you can do is 2 DIMMs of 2400MHz 16GB. (For stability, always use identical RAM or at least the same manufacturer and speed).

It looks like your MB is going to be your main limiting factor for any future upgrades. I'd start doing some research and shopping around, even if you don't buy for a few years.
On your next MB purchase, you'll want to update you CPU as well and look for a MB with at least 4 lanes of memory so you can get up to 32GB while only having to buy 2 more of those same RAM.

i think this would fall under a different perhaps general subforum as there isn't something actually wrong with your monitor or computer

My GTX 1080SC is a full inch and a half longer than the GTX 2080. You'd be able to keep the cage, no problem. Without an AIO, this case is quite spacious for easy cable runs and will have great air flow for a decent sized air cooler.

Fractal Design Focus G is my case of choice for most builds. It's got plenty of room for cable management, can fit most cards as is and can fit any card with the HDD cage removed (there are 2 SSD mounts behind the MB tray). It's got enough space for an AIO CPU cooler if desired and a deep recess on the side panel for cable management and light controllers.
The only time I go away from that is if someone wants full water cooling or a really long card but refuses to give up their HDD.

The best bang for your buck AIO that I have found is Coolermaster. Not only are you getting a quality product, you've got a great company behind it. One of my AIO coolers came with the wrong fans. I did the RMA through CM directly and they shipped a whole new unit out but allowed me to just swap the fans rather than having to completely rip the first unit out of my system.
