I'm trying to figure out if my new components will fit in my case, especially the power supply and CPU cooler. I've seen a lot of mixed info online, and I want to make sure everything is good to go. Also, I'm curious if I need to upgrade my power supply. I currently have a Corsair RM750x that I've had since 2016, and while it still works great, I think it might be missing some connectors for proper power distribution. Any insights on this would be helpful! By the way, I'm using some older parts, which is why my PCPartPicker list isn't fully updated.

You should definitely consider changing the GPU model. The Nitro+ cards have a connector that's been known to melt, which is a major fire hazard. It's best to play it safe! By the way, if you were thinking about the Powercolor Red Devil AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT instead, I've heard it's a safer option, just something to keep in mind!
Your cooler should fit in that case without any issues. Just watch out for that side-mounted fan rail in the mesh variant; if you use it, the cooler height will be restricted. If you don’t mind a tighter fit, you’ll be fine. As for the power supply, that GPU needs a 12V-2x6 connector or three 8-pin PCIe connections, so if yours doesn’t have that, then yeah, an upgrade might be necessary.
I was thinking of getting the mesh version too! Is that fan rail removable? Also, I plan to mount one HDD – will that work?
Thanks for the heads-up! I'll look into the Red Devil card for sure.
