So in fact a 360 case has more than 360mm clearance because it already takes into consideration the fitting ?

Ok.... I finally got my 3080 
2 questions:
1 - I got the EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 XC3 ULTRA GAMING... compared to other 3080s out there, this is a rather simple one with only a small overclock to 1755mhz, and I'm ok with the fact that this is an entry level 3080, what I'm not happy is that I paid 939 euros for it. This is not a resell value, for some reason this cart costs 939 in any retailer in the Netherlands.
Other 3080s in the same level range from 809 to 849 euros, does anyone know why this EVGA is 100 euros more expensive than the other ones ? Does it have anything special that I'm missing ?
I pre ordered 8 different 3080 cards, this one was the first one available so I might still get some other ones, otherwise I'll keep this one.
2 - I pre ordered the Ryzen 5900X but got no luck in the first batch, right now I'm in the waiting line, I'm 120 in a 900+ people line
As the processor is the only thing holding me back to have my PC up and running, do you guys think it is wise to wait for it or maybe go for something else ? I can get the Intel 10900k for 600 euros right now... it hurts to get this one more expensive than the 5900X knowing the AMD is better, but at least I can get it now.
What do you think ?

A final update here...
I got everything a few weeks ago and it is up an running, this is the final config:
- Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING OC 10G
- AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
- ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 420
- Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX 2x32GB 3600 Memory
- MSI MAG X570 TOMAHAWK WIFI motherboard
- 2x Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB M.2 SSD
- SilveStone SST-ST1200-PT 1200W ATX
- Fractal Design Meshify 2 XL Light Tint
PC is running smooth, really fast, the only problem is that the PSU is REALLY loud... so all my concerns about quietness went down the drain.
When I say loud I mean my 10 year old Roomba loud
For some reason it starts the fan for 2 seconds and it stops... it does this every few minutes and sometime it stays on for like 10 seconds and then stops.
I didn't need 1200w nor wanted a Silverstone one, but it was the only 1000W or more PSU available I could find... I will try to put it upside down to have the fan inside the case to see if gets a bit quieter, although I understand that this may cause it to be a bit hotter as it is not getting air from the outside... let's see.
