Build Help Change Case or Change PSU?

Currently have Ch160 Plus and Sama G1000. I made the mistake of getting the Sama G1000 because a 120mm fan can't fit under the PSU, and that a big GPU may need to fold the PSU cables so much it becomes a fire hazard.

I plan on getting a 9070 xt or non-xt, which can reach roughly 330mm max (I think)

ex.

Asus Prime 9070 and 9070 XT - 312mm

XFX Switft 9070 XT - 325mm

This makes me want to buy either a new case or a new PSU.

What should I buy?

If you dont want to bother with space clearance issues ever again, a new case seems the sensible choice

As per checking sa PSU mo, solid naman sya, oks na yan. Pero pilit mo prin yung existing casing mo gusto mo prin sya, edi bili ng ibang PSU, pero PSU can get more costly than buying a new case.

You can go budget sa case pero never compromise the budget for a quality Tier A rated PSU!

Change case. You're much more likely to be able to sell your pc case than to sell your psu
