Long story short, I am regretting the decision of buying the XPS 8500. (Heating Issues...(And Yes I checked my fans, they were running)). I am upgrading some components in it and I need a better case with more fans to help this problem. The case I am looking at is the Rosewill Challenger (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005HJMQIS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER) My main question is: Can I move all of my components from the XPS 8500 case to the new case without any problems?

I believe it is MicroAtx. It has 4 ram slots though. I might be wrong but I thought that only ATX boards had 4 ram slots?

Dell is very unspecific about their form factors in motherboards. It is mATX.

I am not sure, but I think the HAF has had problems with fitting a graphics card or something like that. What component did it have problems with?

I also read that some graphics cards have problems with the xps 8500 bios. I have revision A09? Is the EVGA GTX 770 supported by it?

I just decided to get a new board. Basically building a new PC. All I am taking from the XPS is the HDD, the DVD Drive, the RAM and the Wifi Card.
