I'm looking for a compact and nice looking mTAX case that has the PSU at the top right so it's more compact yet can still fit 310mm+ GPUs.

It also needs to be slim. So not those big cubes.

Lian Li PC-06 was ruled out because it only has 3 PCI slots.

 

I need to fit a potentially 2.5 slot GPU in the first 16X and a 1 or 2 slot in the bottom.  With my motherboard layout, I was looking to using risers for one GPU and vertical mounting it.  I can't find any cases that accommodate this.

I also need to fit a 2.5" HDD.  

 

One good thing is that I'm already using a Cryorig C1 which is 74mm high.  This gives a good deal of clearance if I were to use a mounting bracket to the 

So I'm looking for a mATX case with 5 PCI slots and a front mount PSU,  *OR* one that is 4 PCI slots but the PSU is mounted vertically as well to give clearance for a long GPU to go over top of both the CPU cooler and PSU sort of like this would:

The layout currently looks like this, with a motherboard, the AB350M Pro 4, which goes

x1 

x16

-

x16 

Current GPU is 2.5 slots and I imagine when I get a new one it will be too, so I really want a case where I can mount that big GPU vertically somewhere in it and still have room to use the other x16 slot and the x1 slots.

Here's a picture so you can see what I'm dealing with, and how I could potentially vertically mount the GPU in front of my CPU fan.  I'm fine with grinding stuff off  a case, but I don't want to have to weld something on. So a mounting bracket I can fix to a fan mount is ideal.

Oh.. and bottom mount PSU would work *IF* it has bottom fan mount(s) to mount GPU mounts to there.

But I'm also having trouble finding such GPU mounts.  They are sold out where I've looked.

That silverstone case is roughly the layout, though it's rather ugly and I wouldn't have any way to fit 2 2.5 slot cards in there that are 310mm+ long.

Though I'm planning on Vega, so those might come in at under 300mm, or even under 280mm, I think that'd still be too big to fit over the cooler.

Inwin 301 has the  PSU top left

 

It has it above the motherboard, not in front of it.
