Question Are these case dimensions right?

Trying to verify how much space I have for a GPU.

I bought a BeQuiet Pure Base 500DX mid tower which states a max GPU length of 369mm. But I've installed an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280 in the front intake that is apparently 65mm wide (38mm radiator + 27mm fan). So 369mm - 65mm = 304mm?

That's a real kick to the nuts. That really limits the type of GPU I can fit in there. I'm looking at buying a 6800xt on Black Friday or sooner, so that really only leaves me with something like the 286mm long GIGABYTE Radeon RX 6800 XT GAMING OC.

wait im lost...
are you saying because you mounted the AIO cooler in front, your videocard now exceeds the max length of the case?

Can you move the AIO up top instead and fit the gpu?

edit: Looks like moving the radiator to the top position isn't as bad as I thought. Certainly better for GPU temps, which is a bigger concern.
