i just can not decide which case and cooling system should i choose.

im getting these pc parts :
i5-12600K
Motherboard:
Asus TUF z690 + wifi
PSU: Seasonic Focus GX - 850W
Ram: Corsair VENGEANCE RGB PRO 16GB x2 and some SSD
CPU: PNY 3080 TI
AIO: I really do not know what to choose. All what i know is that i do not want any ICUE fans / AIO.s
Id skip the Lian -Li o11 case , had this one lately , I would like to have something new.

Would love to see some rgb-s also.

So i need case ( pref Mid-size ) , proper aio and good looking rgb fans.

I was looking a Be quiet Dark Base 700, but i dont want to put AIO to the top. ( PNY 3080 TI will get warm ) Also if i put the AIO to the front then i cant put any RGB fans inside ? ... So that means i have to pass that case.
 
A decent video for you to check out, they start talking about temps/performance around 4:00:



For your case (you did not describe your application(s)) I might opt for a nice air cooler (be quiet! and Noctua make excellent units) since they can be just as effective as their watercooling counterparts.

If you are set on an AIO, most name brand units should get you by (Corsair, NXZT, be quiet!, etc), it's just a matter of finding the right size or changing to a larger case as you suggested.

You could also opt for a custom watercooling loop, but that is a much larger commitment.
