Hello. I’m trying to build a Mini itx build with the NZXT H210i and I would like to know if there’s an enough clearance for the GPU, that I’m trying to get. In the NZXT’s site it says that the H210i has a GPU clearance up to 44mm and the EVGA RTX 2070 SUPER (XC ULTRA GAMING: 08G-P4-3173-KR) has width of 2.75 slots. Will this case have a enough clearance for this GPU? Thanks!

Are you building a new PC? If so what budget/country for everything and what do you need the PC for?

I'd highly suggest a case with more airflow, possibly micro ATX, or a more proper compact ITX case.

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

I’m just mainly going to use it for gaming and I live in the states. I still haven’t figured out if I’m going to go with AMD or Intel, because I live by Microcenter and they have i7 9700k for $299 and r7 3700x at $319 and have some open-boxed mobos with additional $30 off on it, if I get them as a combo.

The $199 R5 3600 is plenty for gaming , Ryzen 3000 is within 10% of intel's latest for gaming. Would  get an 3700X otherwise just in case you ever find a use for the higher multi-threaded performance. You just want some 3200mhz CL16 or 3600mhz CL16 RAM to go with it.

MSI's B450 boards have USB bios flashing, Or maybe just get an X570 board anyways if it's cheap, any of them are fine for the 6/8 core CPUs.

 

Especially if you're only gaming at 60hz. , did you already have a monitor or were you going to buy one with it?

If you aren't going super compact there's the Q300L or Q500L, just don't water cool in them

I'm not really seeing any mesh ITX cases like the H210 except for this older and kind of huge one

The RX 5700 is a better value GPU as well, some XFX models are dropping in price due to their average coolers, down to $320-330 it has 80-90% of a 2070 super's performance.

To answer the actual question, I don't think it would fit or cool well because of the case design, and it's a 2.75 slot card, that case looks like it only wants true 2 slot cards, some ITX cases have 3 PCI-e slots just for larger GPUs.

A regular dual slot GPU is 42mm deep. Your card noth only is much deeper (in the 58mm range) but the card requires three PCi-E slots in the case in order to mount. 

 

You cannot mount this aftermarket GPU into this case. You'd need a true dual slot card to mount any card into that case, or consider cases that can hold triple slot cards like the Lian Li TU150
