SO just looked at my case again….. So the issue with the bottom pcie slot is that there jumpers that i lug cables into wont fit under the gfx card so can’t out the card there…. I found a bracket type thing i could use to fold the card BUT it would be tight near the psu and also a cable coming through I’d have to try reroute so doesn’t look like a option using the flexible extension cable for gfx.

For the NVME extension, I’m not sure as the cable would need to fit in and then effective double back on itself to be fixed in the drive cages behind it, if can find a folder for it but that’s looking like realistic only option, will see if can find some where else in case to fix it but not sure atm.

2nd pcie is only gen 3 but I don’t thing WD do a gen 3 4TB drive so would have to be the 850x model and that’s price hence waiting for it to come down..
