i have a mag forge 121a case, nzxt T120 rgb cpu cooler and xfx 9060 3fan 16vram. the gpu is 290mm and my case has 330 mm of gpu socket which fits but the cpu cooler is 159mm and the case has 160mm of max cpu cooler lenght. are they going to fit is 1mm enough? or should i get another case (3 hours of driving to the store)
 
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You'll have 1mm to spare. You state that you have the case. If so, return the case or the cooler and get something from Thermalright's Peerless range, akin to this;
which should be cheaper than the NZXT cooler and a better performer.

Just for the sake of relevance, what processor are you trying to cool? If the processor comes with a boxed cooler, you should forgo buying an aftermarket cooler.

i have a ryzen 5 7600, no it didnt came with stock cooler., should i buy a new case or a cpu cooler? if a new cpu cooler, will 4cm gap between the case and the gpu break the airflow?
