I'm planning to build a small PC for my living room using some parts I already have. I've got an AMD Ryzen 5 3600X CPU and an EVGA GeForce RTX 3070 FTW3 Ultra Gaming GPU. I've built PCs before, but I'm unsure about fitting this larger 3-fan GPU into a compact case. Ideally, I'd like recommendations for the smallest case I can get that will accommodate my GPU while keeping the setup sleek and minimal. Also, I'll likely be using Bassite, so any hardware suggestions that align with this setup would be great. Thanks for any advice!

You might want to check out caseend.com to filter options by GPU size. It could help you find the perfect compact case for your RTX 3070.
If space is really tight, consider selling the 3070 and getting a smaller 9060 XT variant. They perform similarly and are easier to fit in a mini case, plus they usually go for around $250-$280.
Yea this thing is massive, maybe the way to go if I can get a decent deal on the 3070... problem is no one seems to want them.
Do you currently have a mini ITX motherboard, or are you more inclined toward mATX for this build? It might affect the case size you can work with.
I don’t have a spare motherboard at the moment; I’ve been sticking with my old AM4 and DDR4 setup.
Haven't seen this site before but this is definitely a BIG help.
