Is it the Evo model, or plain O11D? If it's not the Evo you'll need a veritcal mount

Yeah, it's just the D and not the Evo, sadly..

I used an 011D Razer Edition and my 4090 Suprim X fit nicely but there was only about inch clearance on the side for routin the GPU cable. I had to use a 90 degree 12VHPWR connector to comfortably power the GPU. Cablemod and ModDIY (which I used) make them.

have a link please? last time I checked they were still developing it. I riped off and cut away the HDD bay from my Fractal Design case for the 4090, who needs those bays anyway when everything is NVMe these days.

That depends on you. 

If you fly only MSFS, 7800X3D.

If you fly only P3D, Intel or 7950X.

If you fly both, Intel or 7950X3D.

If you play CS:GO (Counterstrike: Global Ops), then Intel.

If you play only Star Citizen, 7800X3D.

If you compile, encode, produce videos AND play MSFS on the machine, 7950X3D.

If you mostly compile things, encode things, photoshop, etc. and/or produce vids then Intel.

You need to know what games or apps you use a lot to know which cpu is best for you.
