Hi,
I'm planning on a no compromises ITX build and therefore looking for the perfect case. So far the Core 500 seems to be the way to go, but I really really want to use the Seasonic Prime Titanium 650W (because "no compromises", you know^^), which could be a little problematic with this case. It says the Core 500 supports 160mm PSUs with an 170mm without cable management. Now the Prime Titanium is 170mm and does have cable management, so in my understanding this would not fit.
My first questions would go to any Core 500 specialists here: Do you think, this could be possible somehow? I've seen that the mounting bracket for the PSU is some centimetres off the side of the case. Maybe I could mod the case there and move the bracket a bit, so that I would gain some 1 to 1.5 cm on the other side which should provide the extra clearance? I also thought about getting some Cablemod cables or maybe better just sleeve the 24 pin by myself to make it more flat and flexible so it would eventually fit without modding the bracket. Or maybe even doing both. I would appreciate any advises there, maybe even someone here did manage to put a Prime Titanium in this case or at least a 160mm modular one like the RMx or Straight Power and could share his experience?
If you say that there is now way I could fit it in there without risking to bend the GPU too much or straight up failing to fit it in, my second question is: Is there any ITX case out there, which could do everything I want to do?
It has to support:
The Core 500 ist just under 20 litres, so any case you recommend should not be above 25 litres at best. The rest should be irrelevant.
I've already looked up for cases with these criteria, but I havn't found anything yet. Maybe someone knows the one perfect option, that I've missed out.
Thanks in advance for any help.

It has to support:
- 170mm modular ATX PSUs (that one should be clear^^)
- 160mm CPU coolers; the Noctua NH-U12A to be exact
- 300mm GPUs; my 1080 Ti FTW3 is dual slot, so no problem there. This is the only part from my current build that I will carry over.
