so im planning on building a gaming pc sometime before cyberpunk releases. probably a ryzen 3 3300 with an rtx 2060. i plan on making my own custom case and was wondering if i can directly mount the GPU to a panel o the case using screw spacers ? kinda like how you would a mobo and then connect them using an pcie extender . so is it anyway possible to put spacers on a GPU ? it seems like vertical mounting a GPU on custom cases is difficult . its my first custom case and have been using  gaming laptops most of my life but im great with making things .

unfortunately GPUs lack mounting holes, unless you want to get really creative with the cooler mounts and some custom standoffs.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

How many watts do I need?

You could but you would have to be pretty careful not to cause any structural damage, and the real problem is that backplate really isn't designed to hold the weight of the card entirely.
