Need to change to a bigger case

I have a Corsair iCUE 220T RGB Airflow and was looking for a bigger case.

I have a Corsair Hydro Series H115i RGB Platinum 280mm AIO that is in the front of the case causing the GPU to heat up an there is 1 less fan on AIO due to GPU size (Zotac GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Triple Fan 8Gb, 308mm long).

Is there any recommendation for cases that would support this AIO on top and this GPU?

I would also like to know if the included hub works with other ARGB fans.

Phanteks p500 is a big boicc and supports a roof or front mounted 280 with push-pull fans. Currently have a softline custom rig built in one.
Though you could try swapping airflow direction on your current front mounted AIO or try spinning that lower fan at higher RPM

FYI, you'll likely get better CPU cooling with front (in) or side (out) mount, although results vary from PC to PC.

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.
