For the specs after the upgrade, check the pcpartpicker link above.

 

I am planning on upgrading to a Gigabyte RTX 3070 ti Vision OC, and switching case to a Corsair iCue 4000X. The thing is that I want to put my 360mm radiator in the front of the case, which will take up space for the grapics card and might interfere. 

 

I have looked into the max GPU length, but I don't know if that is with our without a potential rad in the front of the case. The cases max GPU length is 360mm and the Gigabyte GPU is 320mm. The radiator thickness with the fans is about 50mm, here I see the math doesn't add up, BUT my current case is a Corsair carbide air 540, which has a max GPU length of 320mm. In that case I have the same fans and rad as I will after the upgrade, so the max gpu length would be 270mm, but in actuallity it is 300mm.🤔 This causes major confusion... Does the max GPU length of a case have the frontpanel fans included when estimating the max length? Please  help me out. I do not want to buy a gpu that would not fit 😬

 

While you are at it, any recommendations with the build is appreciated. The case and the gpu in the pcpartpicker link above is the components i want to upgrade, the others is what i currently have. Keep in mind that I am going for an white/silver themed build 🙂

 

Thank you in advance for any help with this...

Yes, generally max GPU length takes into account the space needed for intake fans (25mm).

 

Are the only new components in the build list the GPU and case?

No, I forgot to mention that I am buying a new PSU aswell. Would you recommend another? I kinda picked that one due to the price...
