Will an ATX PSU (Evga 650w GQ) fit with a CoolerMaster Nepton 120 XL AIO (pump is 75 x 69.7 x 49.1 mm)? Or do I have to buy an SFX PSU instead?

Well if you put radiator on front/bottom panel, and ATX PSU at the back, it should work..
I believe you are limited to 48 mm height for CPU cooler with a atx power supply.
Finally, my first custom loop ever. Tried to fit the pump inside, but I have to sacrifice my 3.5" HDD. So I put it outside and add that Coffee Warmer loop

That's pretty awesome, but I gotta ask;
If you're willing to hang parts outside an in such a vulnerable manner why not use a Cerberus-X and put it inside?
Well, you can certainly put everything inside, but for my case, it wouldn't be possible given my skills and the tubing choice. I found out that out after the fact. I have all 3 PSU config. and I tried to position the pump in all cases in person. In the end, for me, it will sit in one place, so it's not at all vulnerable with the tail. And I have my own reason to stick to a smaller case.
Really original setup!Finally, my first custom loop ever. Tried to fit the pump inside, but I have to sacrifice my 3.5" HDD. So I put it outside and add that Coffee Warmer loop
Finished my Built, Need a GPU bracket for that sag
that sag is....strange, the heatsink/fan design allows for the video card board to flex that much or something?
nice braided psu cables, what brand/model are those?

Have you made sure that the screws at the back are properly holding on to the pci-e bracket?
it's flexing at/near the PCIe socket. it's "normal" for heavy cards
my big fat strix doesn't sag nearly that much. you can definitely adjust it somewhat by loosening the screws, pushing it up, and re-tightening the screws while you're holding it there. you can probably also give it some extra support by zip tying the power cable to something.
How is the H7 working for you? I found it wasn't enough to keep my 1700 cool enough for my OCD to not kick in (occasional spikes in temp to 41-45 C from 32-33 C drove me nuts because of my fan curve as well as my obsession to keep the CPU as cool as possible without watercooling), but that's just me being absolutely paranoid and nuts.Finished my Built, Need a GPU bracket for that sag
i guess your issue is related to too agressive behaviour of motherboard fan controller.
On my ryzen setup i switch to corsair commander mini to avoid it.
Just received the windowed panel today. It's nice, thanks @KSliger !
It is definitely screaming "get another graphics card" there lol. Maybe I'll get another used asus 1070 a few month or even a year later depending on the price...
I did use Dan A4 internal dust filters on the side and the bottom, but had to cut them in order to fit.

Yeah, my 1070 strix also does not sag much, and to make it better, just have the PSU cable routed in a way to help lifting that side of the card.

Figured I'd share as well... My use-case is a little different from the other users from what I see.
My Cerberus X is an unraid server/nas and htpc/dvr for 3 TV's in the home. The 140mm Prolimatech fans turned out to be the best noise/performance fans I can fit into the case after trying various Noctua models.
