Tampa 2 motherboard

https://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c05919758  - this is a link to my pc.

im looking to install a nvidia RTX 3080. so definitely need to install a bigger psu.

i believe (correct me if im wrong) that my motherboard is compatible with the 3080 due to having Two PCI Express x16 physical slots (Gen 3.0)

but thinking about this installation, would it be wise to get a different case maybe due to ventilation purposes or something else like that. i'm not sure if the new psu and gpu would even fit in this case.

if needing a new case, what i'm wanting to do is transfer everything inside the pc into the new case but replace the gpu and psu.

if so what cases would you recommend getting, i also wanting to go with something with a glass panel.

Here are two HP Knowledge Base articles that explain what to consider when adding or upgrading a video card and considering moving to a new case:
