Budget (including currency): 500 Euro

Country: Netherlands

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: gaming and media consumption

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

 

I'm planning on upgrading my current 2070 to a 4080, however, my concern is that my current case (an NZXT H440 blue/black) isn't big enough to fit a 4080 and have sufficient airflow. So I would like some recommendations for a new case that fits a 4080 with enough space for 3 HDDs and 2 SATA SSDs. It should also be able to fit the Noctua NH-15D with one fan up slightly higher due to ram clearance.

 

The budget will also include a new PSU that I'm going to need as my current Corsair 650W isn't going to cut to feed an R7 5800x (slightly OC'ed) and a 4080. One thing that the case needs is that it isn't higher than my current case (510mm or 200") due to it being on my desk with a cabinet above it.

 

Thanks in advance for any recommendations you guys can give me for the case and PSU.

The NZXT H7 flow is compatible with everything on the list (505mm tall, 400mm gpu clearance, probs 375 with fans and compatible with nhd 15 with raised fan but check the last one) 

for the psu I would say that you either go for an rm850x or if you really want to futureproof it for about 40 or 30 bucks more then go with the rm1000x

This will all be all in all with the more expensive psu about 350 euros estimate

this one seems to be a good fit except the amount of HDD's spots is less. i was also looking at the Meshify 2 where you can change the layout for more storage space. Thing is however, i dont know if i go that layout, if the GPU will fit with the layout like that (in length it would but not about the width)

If you just want peak value, this would be my config.
