[SOLVED] are there risks of having the case always open?

Hi, one thing I've been thinking about is.. in the chance that the RTX 2060 I'm going to buy won't fit into the case or the bottom of the case using a gpu cable... is it safe to have the gpu be placed on top of the pc with the help of a 60cm gpu cable instead?
all my pet cats rest and play on the porch outside, so there's no risk of an animal bumping into the gpu or going inside the pc case.

Are there other dangers on having the pc case always open? For example, would I have a problem in temperatures?

Dust.
Cooling may be better or it may be worse.
Sitting on top of the case, it might fall off.

Why not get a new case?

Nosy kids.
Accidental beverage spills while passing by.
Pet hair would get inside more easily, and that would mean more frequent cleanings.

thanks, suggestions appreciated. Hopefully, the RTX 2060 I would obtain from the mall is the mini version.. so there won't be problems fitting it into the case.

still saving money, would probably be able to get maybe two months from now.
2 months should also be enough in observing if this 10600k pc is stable already, before I buy an expensive gpu for it.
