Good day guys! I would like to ask for any advice about upgrading my P100A with I7 10th gen & RTX 3070 Ventus 2x. I am planning to upgrade the graphics card to Asus TUF RTX 4080, but I'm just not sure if it will work properly. There are also not a lot of posts regarding the P100A. I hope you can give me some advice. Thanks in advance and have a great day!

Absolutely no chance that a RTX 4080 would fit in it as they are Massive

your RTX 3070 Ventus 2x is 232 x 124 x 52 mm
the Asus TUF RTX 4080 is 348.2 x 150 x 72.6 mm

Max Thickness that case could take is around 65mm. its just far too thick

also the Power Supply is a Issue too as the P100A has a Modular 450W 80 Plus Bronze Certified PSU

the RTX 4080 needs at least a good 80+ Gold 750W Power Supply.

Thank you for the response. I will also look for a 750w psu to replace my 650w.

But if the thickness is not an issue, will the rtx 4080 work with the current motherboard?

Motherboard:
MPG B460I GAMING EDGE WIFI

it should work but your not going to be able to put the side panel back on the Machine at all.
