I've recently bought a bunch of new PC parts for my build, but I'm struggling to find a case that fits everything. The case I initially got is just an inch too small at the top, which obstructs my RAM when I try to install my AIO cooler. Now, I'm left with all these parts sitting around, and I'm confused about which cases will provide enough clearance—especially for a 240mm AIO liquid cooler. I need recommendations for a full ATX case that fits my budget of 250CAD. Can anyone help me with this?

You should definitely check out pcpartpicker.com for compatibility. Just input your parts and set it to Canada. If you're using an Arctic Liquid Freezer, just keep in mind that they can have some compatibility issues because their radiators are thicker than usual. It might not be the best choice for your build.
Honestly, it might be best to grab a tape measure and calculate the exact clearance you need for all your parts. Look for a case that matches those measurements in height and width. It can really help narrow down the options!
I actually have one that measures in inches, and I've found it's around 17.5 inches by 17.5 inches, but I'm worried about the space where the motherboard meets the top.
Will that really show if everything fits? I've used that site before, and sometimes they don't have certain models listed. I'm working with a Cooler Master Master Liquid.
