For context, we will need to know what case are you working with now.

motherboard gig b550 x v2
Is this your motherboard

? If so, then you're going to need to look into an atx case.

i cant seam to find anywhere that allows room for the cooling system at the front.
Where are you located, what is your budget for your case and what is your preferred site for purchase?

To add, you apparently own this;
mag coreliquid 240r
which is one of the worst AIO's in history. Were you running on the stock cooler prior to the AIO? What sort of temps are you seeing when idle and under load? Ambient air temps?

yeah i was running a

AMD Wraith Stealth AM4 CPU Air Cooler​

and the cpu was going into the 89+ sometimes, since fitting the new cooler its reaching 60 max, read the review on the cooler after buying it, i think i may be lucky and got a good one as its not making much noise and keeping cpu cold, its idling in the 20s, im not looking to spend more than £50 as i can adapt the front if needed, do you know what the prongs are called on the front that hold the front place, matbe i can just extend them as they fit on one side ?
thankd for your repy
