Does this case have full opened PCIe slots?

I'm upgrading my case to a Fractal Design Focus G (1st gen) and I'm planning on doing a vertical GPU mount with a triple fan 4060, 7600 XT or a B580 (if it's good when it comes out). Most vertical GPU mounts need full opened PCIe slots which is why i'm asking. I've already checked if all my other parts fit in this case and they do. If you need any other information feel free to ask.

Thanks for the help!

If you can't find a slot mount for that, look up adjustable angle mounts that suit on the PSU shroud. Some of my best test results were obtained with the GC blowing the hot air at an angle against the glass side. 

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.

I don't think that case has a PSU shroud, but I'll take a look into those though.

Sorry, you're correct. Why that case?

I don't have much space, my current case is too big and that's why i'm upgrading. It's not breaking the bank at 75 CAD and it's available stock in blue. I know I can paint it but if I drop 175 on a really nice case and it gets ruined by paint I won't be too happy.
