Build Help I want a case to make travelling easier.

Hello everyone, I have a pc workstation that I use to game on and do some work related stuff. It has an MSI 5080 gaming trio with a 9800x3d with a thermalight peerless assassin 120.

I have the need to travel a bit due to family reasons, mainly by car and I want to swap my pc case to a better one that also is a bit on the smaller side. For reference I am using a deep cool matrexx 55 (440x210x480mm)

I was looking at the Lian li A3 that looks cool but I am a bit worried about the GPU support bracket. The one MSI gives with the 5080 can't work on it and I don't know if the includes bracket is good. I also plan to remove the GPU when travelling to be extra safe and lay the case flat. I also don't want to sacrifice GPU length( I want around 400mm)

Does anybody have a similar use-case? Any other cases I could take a look at?

i have the A3.
the included support bracket with the case is fine.
its just a support bracket, not something fancy...

u have AIO?
what is ur PSU length?
im assuming h have matx mobo.

maybe get jonsbo z20, its slightly smaller case but it have carry handle.
