Hmmm interesting. Would want to see the thermals in that case, crammed and making an AIO that's got a single fan rad just to save depth...

a 2080 or 1080 backplate is around 80-100°C under heavy use that's what your case temp would be
it's "one of those" cases for people who don't really use their computer or don't know how hot components can get :/
mine is bling too but bling that I took 1 week tweaking (changing fans, moving them, reversing them testing various coolers and radiator placements) so it actually works
selfless bump on what Corsair QL fans are good for (mounted as intake) https://ibb.co/QCQdJJd
I tried exhausting the gpu backplate heat instead the gpu temps were better but scores weren't so...mounting the gpu in the lower x16 pcie made the M.2 and chipset hotter which activated the chipset fan all the time (didn't make a noticeable noise) will water-cool the gpu later btw, waiting for the next xx80Ti gen to do it
anyway just wanted to say that the freaking backplate is the no1 heat problem not cpu not gpu die that have adequate air,aio,custom loop cooling but not that damn "oven heating element" ><
and also that with computers being much more powerful and generating much more heat than they ever did, that kind of pre-built small cases have no hope to ever be good in 2020, unless you study and choose the coolest components possible..definitely not an Intel 10k and 2080ti ><

At a cursory glance, the layout isn't terrible.
But then you take a second look and you realize it's intaking air from three different sides, and then exhausting from one that doubles as the intake for the radiator, that's also intaking the exhaust from the graphics card, that's partially untaking from underneath the motherboard, that all exhausts into a decorative cover, dear god.
