Why such a big case ?

It's just a tad above mid tower size, they tend to max out at 230mm width and 450mm length, then full tower are either very old/bad or over $100

Because I bought the RTX 4070 Ti Super from ROG that it's:
13.22 x 5.9 x 2.48 inch
336 x 150 x 63 mm

 

And my CPU cooler is the Noctua NH-D15S and it's big because I have a tower of 230mm of width and the cooler is almost touching the glass.

Ok, you don't need that big of a case, a Lancool 216 or Phantels G360 will be able to hold your stuff easily

They're a tad over $100, have stellar reviews, and comes with fans included

as long as the cooler is NOT touching the glass it's fine.

 

Most cases only have a few mm of clearance on tall Air Coolers, and as long as you have 1-2mm?  you're totally fine.

 

And a 336mm GPU?  That's not abnormally long.  you don't need 450mm for that!
