What M-ITX or M-ATX case would you recommend that will take a 2080 and a standard ATX PSU?

As per the title I'm looking to build a a new PC and trying to decide which case to go for? What do you reckon is the best available which can accomodate a 2080 sized video card and regular ATX power supply?

Going for an ATX PSU really limits your SFF case choice.

However more specifics are need.
How big you your CPU cooler?
How big is your 2080?
Are you aiming to be as small as possible under 10 litres, or is under 20 litres ok for you?
What is you budget, £50, £100, £200?

I was just going for air cooling using the fan with the processor in the first instance. Currently I have a geforce 980 which is around 30cm though I'll likely upgrade to a 3000 series card when they launch later this year. CPU wise I was considering a Ryzen5 or maybe the upcoming Ryzen3 depending on pricing/performance.

Case wise I like the look of the NZXT 200i though maybe you're right in saying I should consider M-ATX instead of M-ITX. Would I be able to go for a substantially small case and still fit a high end GPU if I went for a smaller case with a non-ATX PSU?

Budget wise I was thinking of around £100 for the case. I have a spare ATX PSU which is why I'd wanted a case that could fit it.
 
Thanks for the replies everyone. Looking at the Ryzen range there appears to be a new motherboard chipset out next month (B550) which should hopefully have some nice updates (WiFI 6, PCI-E 4.0, Thunderbolt, etc possibly) and out of the box support for 3000 series CPUs. Likewise there's a Rzyen 3300 CPU out which gives me more CPU options though I think it'll probably be worth spending the extra money for the Rzyen5

Given I'm building this to replace my old PC which broke last month I'm hoping to keep things on a budget with the intention of re-using most of the parts (GPU, SSD, RAM, PSU, etc). So I just need a new CPU, Motherboard and case which I reckon I bring in for around £300-400. Actually regarding storage given I have to reinstall Windows I might contemplate moving to an M2 SSD as my current one is still SATA.

I'll update this thread when the B550 motherboards launch so I can order parts. With any luck this whole pandemic situation will have eased up slightly by then as well as it definitely seems to be affecting supply of parts and pricing. Though the lack of available motherboards could be linked to the fact that the range is being updated just now as well.
