Hmm, I may be in the prospect of obtaining a mobo+AMD CPU and an RTX 3060 from a friend, though I am unsure if I'll be able to obtain all 3, but even if it's the mobo+CPU, that'll be good enough of an upgrade over my current i7-6700k (I really hate being limited in RAM speed via that CPU these days).

I'm not really interested that much in obtaining the GPU, since I've already compared it to what my 1080ti can do and it's honestly not all that worthwhile going for, but I can use it to pair with my current build as a spare rig (I'm really not interested in RT or frame generation, so those perks are moot to me).

Does anyone have any good case suggestions?. I'm wanting to go for a new case for improved ventilation (due to my 1080ti currently being limited to 2 fans instead of 3), since my current corsair C70 case has ventilation limitations via the front drive bay slot, and I'd really like to upgrade to a more modern case that doesn't restrict airflow as much.

After working with it, I can recommend th Lian Li Lancool 216. It's big enough to hold any hardware and it's also very easy to work with it.

I only have to complains about it:

1) No dust filter. I've been using it since Wednesday and I can already see dust accumulation if the front mesh panel where the two 160mm fans are.

2) The PSU can only be installed in one way, with the fan facing down to draw cool air in. It won't not a problem with most power supplies, but for the hybrid ones that have to be installed the other way around to prevent heat from accumulaing, it can be one.
