Hi guys,

I recently came into possession of a pre-built PC. It came with a unbranded ATX case and I'm looking to downsize into SFF if possible.

However, I've taken a look around pcpartpicker and having done some research, it seems that there are not many Build threads with the MSI 2080 Gaming X Trio.

I guess part of the reason is because this GPU is 327 x 140 x 55.6mm.

I might have to compromise and just go for a smaller mATX case.

Do you guys think I should stick to my original plan of getting a ITX board (MSI B450i Gaming Pro) or go for a mATX or Fullsize board and look for the smallest possible mATX case that would house the GPU?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks mate.

Having done a little bit more reading, it does seem like mATX is the best option otherwise it'll be cutting it too close and I wouldn't want to sacrifice temp performance just to have a slightly smaller footprint.

Will probably look for a smaller mATX case likebthe Cerberus but that's a little bit too costly for my taste.

Anyone else have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
