Fractal North Case with RTX4090 and 360mm cooler ?

Hi i am looking at getting a pc built with the below ruff specs.

Fractal north case
7800x3d cpu
rtx4090 gpu
32gigs ddr5 6000mhz
2tb nvme drive
x670e mobo

now i wanted o spec a it with a 360mm cpu cooler, but i am finding mixed signals over you tube ect with regard being able to fit a rtx4090 and a 360mm cpu cooler in it ?
is it possible ? I have had someone say you can only fit certain rtx4090 cards and only a 240mm cpu cooler ? Just want some clarification on this really, any help would be great.

Thank you

So it would only work if i could get a reference card, but looks like i have no chance of getting a new one of those ? So maybe i would have to go with a different case ?

Ok so I should have said I want this built rather than me building myself, last time I built a pc was probably 20 years ago lol second it is just purely for gaming so I assumed 7800x3d with rtx4090 would be a very good fit ? Plus I am trying to future proof the upgrade process in the future with the AM5 motherboard, so should I be going for a better cpu ?
also thank you for all the responses so far, it is much appreciate.

I guess i would save a fair amount of money also by building this myself ? I did look at nvidias site for the rtx4090 reference card it shows the buy sign but it does nothing, so maybe it’s not available or maybe its safari on my iPad Pro ? But all in all this has given me some food for thought thank you.

Mmmmm i do like the divine R6 not seen this before, i was kind of set on the north as i love the wood look but the define may be the answer then i can have what ever cooling i like and the rtx4090 can be any brand

So if I had a big enough case with the specs I have suggested, with a 360mm cooler at the top of the case where would fans need to be and how many I assume a couple at the front of the case airflow going in and a couple at the back airflow going out ? Any more than that and any suggestions as to what type of fans? Really not bothered about rgb just want the oc to stay as cool as possible but not sound like a jet fighter taking off :-)
