Cooling for an upgrade

Draxexo

I've been thinking of upgrading my CPU, RAM and GPU, i will most likely need cooling for said items, i was thinking of an AIO but then was stumped due to the clearance between my motherboard and the top of the case.

Can anyone advice of the best positioning for this.

Case: Corsair Carbide 275r

Planned AIO: Anything that's atleast 240mm, maybe 360mm?

I am also considering filling all available fan spaces.

I have attatched files of clearance.

I was thinking going all out some sort of 2080, maybe super? And a 3950x or 3900x, and more ram. I would want to keep the motherboard if possible. I have 550w power supply right now 80+ bronze.

If your chipset allows it...

What is your intention to do with This PC?

Playing games like GTA and such similar games also recording games, what I have now (ryzen 7 2700 and GTX 970) isn't enough for what I want to run.

If you have enough money get a 2080 Super and like you said a 3900X / 3950X. Whats your specific RAM and Motherboard?

Forget about the need of a cooler, you need sleeved extensions

No one sees it through the tinted panel!

Get 16 GB 3200MHz RAM, update your Bios, let others tell you what is The better CPU (I'm not an expert at this) and take the 2080S.
