Hey everyone! I recently snagged a Sapphire Pulse RX 9070 XT for €590 in France and I'm looking to build a killer 4K gaming PC to pair with my 42" LG OLED C5. I've already got my case (Corsair 280X, which I love), a Seagate 3TB HDD, and of course, the 9070 XT GPU. I've heard that 320mm GPUs can fit in my case, even though it's rated for 300mm? To improve airflow, I'm planning to upgrade my case with new front and top grills that I found online. I also spotted a Sapphire Nitro+ B850M motherboard for €150—is that worth it compared to the MAG Mortar? Additionally, for cooling, I'm thinking of the NZXT Kraken Elite 280 AIO, especially since I want to create a Squirtle-themed build! Here's the list of components I'm considering. Let me know what you think and if you need more details!

Just a heads-up: the 9070 XT isn't the best option for 4K gaming. It's okay, but you might face some challenges in terms of performance. Here's some proof that it can do 4K gaming, but just don't expect top-tier results. Check out this link for a benchmark: [TechSpot Review](https://www.techspot.com/review/2961-amd-radeon-9070-xt/#2160p-png).
I understand, it's not the top model but I got it for much less than a 5080 here, so I figured it was a decent deal.
