Looking for a smaller case, need advice

ImServs

I currently use a Phanteks P600S and im in love. But im moving everything to a smaller desk and i want the pc to stay on the new desk which it wont be able to do with the current case.

I also plan on doing an upgrade to my parts, which will affect the case i can use. These are my current parts:

CPU - Ryzen 9 3950X
Motherboard - Asus Crosshair VIII Hero Wifi
GPU - RTX 3080 FE
CPU Cooler - Corsair H150i Pro
SSD #1 - Samsung 970 EVO Plus
SSD #2 - Samsung 970 EVO Plus
PSU - EVGA G1+ 850watt
Case - Phanteks P600s
PCIE Device - Single Slot Capture Card

I want to swap the CPU cooler for an NZXT Kraken Z53/Z63, then add a NZXT Kraken X53/X63 with the NZXT G12 to the RTX 3080.

Are there any cases smaller than what i have that could accommodate this? Anything tall but slim?
Im willing to swap the PSU to SFX and the motherboard to M-ATX if it helps find a case,

I mean, do you like, super need a desktop 3080? Because while GPU resell prices are still high, there's never been a better time to go the laptop route.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

You must decide between mATX and mini ITX, the former being easier but bigger than the latter. Of course a new motherboard for both.

Probably a new psu for mini ITX

 

No PCIE Device - Single Slot Capture Card with mini ITX

 

Your 3080 gpu is a size challenge for a lot of those cases (mine anyway)

 

I'm willing to swim against the current.

so what you are looking for is a case that can support 2 240/280mm rads. can support an ATX board, and a GPU of 285mm long and 112mm wide? that only narrows the list down to somewhere around 2500 possible cases.

 

isd there a budget for this case?
