Technically it can fit into my case, but I'd have to remove the hard drive cage. I have two hard drives though, so it is possible, but I'd just tossing away 4tb of storage. Honestly might consider it for this GPU and just get another SSD in the future. I'd prefer not to though. I just don't know if there is another way that I can't find. I mean I saw the top part of the hard drive cage has an screws for the SSD cages that I could possibly get rid of, and that may give me enough clearance in order get the card in.

I am considering a 2 fan 7700xt, but the 12gb of VRAM just doesn't seem like that good of a deal to me. I've also contacted corsair and they said "Unfortunately, the 380mm clearance is correct with either a 2-slot card or with the HDD cage removed. The space just above the HDD cage can support a 2-slot card. However, while looking up the card you plan to get it is estimated to be a total width of 3-slots. That might cause an issue. The clearance until you meet the HDD cage is 270mm. You will need to either remove the cage or change the case." Anyone have any ideas?

You could get these and be creative and mount them to the bottom floor of case so you still have a place to mount your hard drives.

But also looking at your case above the hard drive rack you need to remove are those hard drive mounting hole patterns on the wall above the hard drive rack if so vertical mount hard drives.

This seems like the best option. Also cheaper than buying a new case. Thanks.
