i am not familiar with that case personally. but reading a review on it, it may not be that big of a deal unless you have a lot of drives installed. the review shows drive mounts on top of the power supply housing. this should make up for losing the hdd cage if you decide to do it. it did not go into how it comes out or if it leaves a place to mount a drive anyway.

i assume you have your hdd in the cage now since it is there. can you easily move it(them) to the top of the power supply cover? does that interfere with anything near the bottom of the mobo?

looking at the manual https://sta3-nzxtcorporation.netdna-ssl.com/uploads/download/attachment/89/Noctis-450-manual-multi-language-1.pdf says that it can fit 305mm gpu which is enough. not sure why it is different than the spec sheet on the same webpage but it is different.

the manual does not even show the cage coming out and the hdd trays. fit in from the side so removing them seems to do nothing. i saw a couple youtube videos when i searched the case model. perhaps one of them will go through all the steps to give you a better idea how the case works. i'm at a loss as to how ti works since so much info is different or missing.

edit: looking closer at a video it does seem like removing a couple trays will leave the needed room for the card. so it should be ok if you do that.
