So in my build, I have a Corsair 4000d case, which has a 360mm max GPU length. I have a fan and a radiator on the inside of this (fan 25 mm + radiator 27mm = 52mm) If I factor in the space I am using, 360mm - 52mm leaves me with 308mm of usable GPU space. Attached will be my Pcpartpicker build. I am wondering what would be the best GPU for my set up given these size constraints. I don't have a good idea of how much this gap will affect my build so I am looking for answers here.

Why would you even consider a 3070? You can't run SLI, either.

 

I mean, personally, I'm not considering a single NVidia card, I'm going 6800XT, but really, anything the 3070 can do, the 3080 can do better.

 

Hypothetically, if I were to consider a NVidia card, I would go for the 3080 FE over anything else, that cooler just looks really awesome. It's like a dual fan brick of cool cooler plus a blower cooler at the same time, which should help overall in any case.
