I have an alienware aurora r4 currently with a gtx 680 reference. I want to upgrade to an asus gtx 780 direct cu II. Would the auroras case have good enough airflow to support that card. I'm asking that because I know the stock fan blows hot air out of the case, while the asus blows some hot air in my case. There are vents across the top, in the front near the bottom, and all down by the back in my case. The images I wanted to uploaded are to big. If you wanna see images just look the aurora r4 case. Thanks, for dealing with an alienware noob that you probably wanna punch in the face.

As long as you have a way to blow hot air out of the case using top and back vents of your case, there is nothing to be worried about. If you can install a single intake cooler fan in your case, the setup would be best to keep your case cooler. So, leaving all the tensed mind aside you will be good with your air flow. For more information on cooling the case, read the article below:
