Really?
3080 is a 320W card. Even allowing a 20% overhead, there's >350W left for the rest of the system. With the 3090 (350W), you'd have >300W left. Only thing I'd be wary of is overclocking the top performing CPUs. 10900K can climb over 200W without much bother (which should still be fine, but moving out of comfortable territory).
That's a lot higher than I get with a Ryzen 5 2600. I idle at 37'C-42'C, and just ran a few benchmarks (CPU stress test + TW:WH2 & FH4 benchmarks) to check load temps. Topped out at 62's. That's with 4x Arctic P12s running around 940 RPM (maybe the occasional and very slight ramp up from here) and an LL120 on the cooler running between 1,000 and 1,200 RPM. GPU is an RTX 3060 Ti.
How do your CPU temps fare in a CPU-only test? If your temps are high in a CPU test, it might be worth remounting the cooler and/or upgrading the thermal paste. If temps are alright in a CPU test but high in gaming, then it's probably the GPU's waste heat causing issues.
Grab Gigabyte SIV and use that to control your fan speeds.
We should swap monitors 
LG UC99 (white & silver) here, spoiling a black and grey set-up.
That looks really good with the two neon strips. I've got the 1m strip routed around the window panel. I think your method looks better TBH; the lighting is even deep in to the case.

You may have already discovered this, but the side panels can be screwed in place. There are screw holes under the top panel. So if you break a clip, you can still secure the side(s).
Not really.
A 280mm rad has to go on the side. With a rad on the side, you can't mount a PSU at the front. It may be possible to mount an ATX PSU on the other side (i.e. the SFX position), but this would limit GPU length to maybe 190mm (ish). You might then be able to mount two 3.5" drives on the case floor at the front.
If you need a large GPU as well then the answer is definitely no. There just isn't that sort of room in this case. Even with an SFX PSU, it would be a choice between the radiator or the drives.
Not sure lack of options is the problem with the NR200. You simply want to put more than 18L of stuff inside an 18L case
It'll manage an SFX PSU, 280mm radiator and two (possibly even 3) 2.5" drives.
I quite like the Max. Shame it's only being sold as a bundle.
What I'd really like to see is a modular rear panel (ala O11 Mini). It would add a fantastic amount of flexibility to this case. Top mounted AIO + <2.5 slot GPU, side mounted AIO or tower cooler & <3.5 slot GPU, and up to three rads in a custom loop.

Cards over a certain size will have little breathing room against the glass. Looks like <3 slots will be fine.
There are two 2.5" drive mounts under the front plate in the NR200 if needed. I had a thick 4TB drive in mine for a bit.
It's roughly £350 worth of parts. You have a warped definition of "easily"...
Case - £100
PSU - £140
AIO - £80
That makes £320. But the case has a Gen 4 riser rather than Gen 3. Looking at other cases with this as an option, it adds £30-£40 to the price.
Guess im just disappointed in the price
I agree it's disappointing. But it's also in line with reasonable expectations for the components used.
Would be nice if they'd sell the case on its own. Even moreso with a Gen 3 riser option. £250 is probably feasible with a Gen 3 riser, 600W/650W SFX/SFX-L PSU, and a 240mm AIO.
