I am planning on building a new PC and am trying to decide on a case.

I will be using the i9-9900K with a 360mm AIO cooler.
The GPU will be the AORUS GeForce RTX™ 2080 Ti XTREME WATERFORCE 11G which has a 240mm AIO.

The below case has a 360mm radiator support in the top and a 240mm radiator support in the top which means my AIO will have space.

Can someone please tell me their view on the below case?

Generally Corsair cases are pretty solid in quality, although like any case, it'll have its quirks. About the only issue I can see offhand is the severe lack of space above the motherboard. While this won't affect normal exhaust fan placement, it can and often does affect AIO placement as larger AIO's can breach the area where the ram slots stick into space. Sometimes not an issue with short ram, but taller ram can conflict with rad/fans.

Pretty nice thermals as is for a glass front case.
