i have asus prime a320m-f
ryzen 5 2600 8gb ddr4 with old atx case from 2008 that doesnt accept gtx 1060 to get in fully into the slot so i want to replace it with new case ( front part of gpu doesnt fit the case and front part of pcie x16 doesnt get in )

You get the specific length of your GPU:

223mm.

Then, you look up the specs of whatever case you want.
If the allowable GPU length is more than 223mm, you're fine.

Even if the case would accept the GPU in that chassis, you're essentially going to cook your innards due to the lack of any proper vents for the fans in the case to breath. In essence, you're out of the frying pan and into the fire with the case you're looking at since it's no better than the case you have now to work with.

Where are you located, what is your budget for case purchase and what is your preferred site for purchase?
