I'm looking to upgrade my PC with a new 5700x3d CPU and a 7800 XT GPU. My current case is the Meshify C, which has a GPU clearance of 315mm. I want to use a 3-fan 7800 XT but I'm worried it might not fit with the front fans in place. I'm considering either moving the front fans or potentially going with a 2-fan version of the GPU instead. I usually don't stress about temperatures much, but I hear 3-fan models perform better. I'd rather not have to buy a new case if I can avoid it. Any advice?

Based on the specs, you should be fine with a 302mm model of the 7800 XT. Check out this link for the details: [GIGABYTE 7800 XT](https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-R78XTGAMING-OC-16GD/sp#sp). It's designed to fit in cases like yours!
You could lower one of the front fans to create some space for the GPU. It might actually serve double duty as a support bracket to prevent GPU sag, which is a nice bonus!
I hadn't thought about the sagging issue, but that sounds like a solid idea!
