[SOLVED] New Case? H210i or 510i?

[jbdaake]

I am currently working off a Mini ITX form factor.
CHIP: AMD Ryzen 5 5600 X
Board: MSI MPG B550I Gaming Edge wifi AM4
Storage: WD M.2-2280 SN750 1 TB
Ram:2 X 8GB DDR4 3600 MHz UDIMM Crucial Ballistix

I have AN NZXT H1 Case (so PSU and AIO are built-in). I recently procured an EVGA 3080 FTW3 and it will not fit in my case. I am looking at a couple of options.

First Option: Upgrading to an H210i case with the M22 Kraken 120mm AIO and the 850 c NZXT PSU. The reason I am looking at the M22 is that I need the extra clearance for the GPU

Second Option: Upgrading to an H5101 Case with the X53 Kraken 240 mm AIO and the 850 c NZXT PSU. From my knowledge the GPU would fit in here with extra room

Does this sound correct for both options? also any advice on if a single 120mm AIO is sufficient for this build?

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

You could look into the SSUPD Meshlicious case or the NR200 from CoolerMaster. I'd avoid getting the M22 AIO in that case, since you will be limiting the cooling for your processor. You should stick to a 240mm AIO regardless for the CPU.

I am really trying to stick to nzxt cases

If you want to keep with a small ITX system I would strongly advise considering the Cooler Master NR200 over the H210 or H210i for various reasons, mostly relating to cooling. However, if you want to keep with NZXT, the H210/H210i is your only real choice. The H510 is a much larger case that would not make sense to pair with an itx motherboard. I assume you want a compact system, so the H510 would not be my pick,

A 120mm AIO is sufficient for a 5600x, however, the M22 costs more than some 240mm aios that will generally offer stronger performance. Being locked to poor value 120mm aios for best GPU clearance is another reason to avoid the H210.
