Hey guys! Not sure if anyone can help me with this. I'm looking for a case that will fit both of these GPUs:
https://www.xfxforce.com/.../radeon-tm-rx-5700-dd-ultra...
https://www.bestbuy.ca/.../evga-geforce-rtx-3070.../15147122

I don't think my current case will cut it. Basically, there isn't enough space between my other PCIE slot and my PSU. Anyone have any suggestions for cases? I'd really appreciate any help, as I don't want to buy something that can't fit the cards!
Here are my case and MB:

Thank you!

Amd And nvidia drivers... Ouch, that's not an easy match up, they hate each other, literally. I can count on one hand the amount of times I've seen that successfully done, and have fingers to spare.

There should be plenty of space between the lower pcie and the psu top on an ATX motherboard, vendors purposely pulled away from single slot designs with the pcie on the very bottom except for BTX and mITX.

Both of those are 2 slot cards with level shrouds, so shouldn't be a problem. If your choice was 2.5-3 slot cards, with funky shrouds that stick up even further (hello Asus) then I'd be worried.
He can mount 2 120mm intake fans on side of that case and improve airflow, its already got a vent there.

it might be better than some glass sided cases already.
