I get that this is meant to be an affordable case, but a mass-market case with a PCIe 3.0 riser cable in 2021 ... that's going to cause major issues. Zen 2, Zen 3 and Rocket Lake will all default to PCIe 4.0 with 4.0 GPUs (RDNA, RDNA 2, Ampere) meaning that any BIOS reset will require the user to either disassemble the build to install the GPU directly into the slot, or install a temporary 3.0 GPU just to get into the BIOS and set the link speed to 3.0... that's not the kind of troubleshooting you can expect from the average user. I foresee significant RMA issues from this.
