I just got done putting together a build (2 Weeks Ago). Amazon has a great return policy so I figured I build out my HTPC machine and then if I ended up using it, I would return the GPU and upgrade to the 4000 series if it made sense. I only use this computer for planning games on my LG C2 at home.
My Question: I don't think a 4090 will fit in my SilverStone Technology Grandia 11 Compact ATX Home Theater PC (HTPC) case, do you have any horizontal case recommendations for an HTPC build that can also fit a 240mm rad? The founders might fit, but I am worried about the connector being too tight against the side of the case....my other thought is to just leave the top off until I can find another case.
This is my build currently. I would like to upgrade to a 4090 and it looks like I will have to upgrade my PSU....sigh.
