General Case Question(s)

[jlg88]

My topic/issue has a few concerns and I didn't know where to exactly put it but it's mainly a case issue.

 

I have run into a fitment issue with the GPU I wish to acquire, like most people (i assume of course) the 30-series card I would like is too big for my current case. I have a 220T airflow with a front mount AIO because of ram clearances. I have 2 possible solutions but would like outside opinions both positive and negative and lets assume money is not a major concern.

 

Do I:

1) Get a bigger case, naturally I would like to keep it a corsair case. I'm looking at the 4000 series, Do I get the cheaper 4000D and move the lightning node core and wiring over from the 220T over or shell out a little more for the 4000X for peace of mind?

 

2) Just get a smaller 30-series GPU and paint the shroud and fans the color I want? Never done anything like that before, so would be asking for help from friends.

 

Thanks for whatever suggestions come my way.

I have the same case and will be changing the case. I would get something that you know will do you for years to come. So I would go with the 4000x. That is one of the ones on my list. But then again I am also looking at building my own that will have adjustable parts so you can put the system showing from either side depending on the orientation of your desk.
