Alright guys, its me again. Okay so heres my deal. I sold my old Tegra Note 7 tablet to buy a new PC Case for my main gaming rig. I have some cooling issues, I think because of my non-modular psu which fills up a hell of alot room in my case. My case is an OEM case. I just used an Amazon link to the pc case, mind you not the same specs. My gfx card is advertised to be under 50 degrees Celsius and I'm hitting 82-85 degrees celsius under load. FYI, got the computer on sale for $800, so yeah mee!

Here is the link to the OEM Dell Case:http://www.amazon.com/Dell-XPS-X8500-2631BK-Desktop-Black/dp/B0084C39PY

My PC Specs:
CPU - i7-3770
GPU - GTX 760 Twin Frozr 4 GB GDDR5
HDD - 2 TB WD Blue
RAM - 12 GB @ 1600 MHz

Okay, here is what I am worried about. There is a wireless card soldered onto the board and I don't know if it will be usable if I change cases. I also am worried about compatibility issues since I think the MOBO was designed specifically only for this case so I don't know if it will be flush with the new case or even work with it. Another thing I am also worried about is the I/O ports on the bottom of the MOBO, this is the main reason I do not yet have a new beast gaming pc case. SOOOOooooOOoOOo yeah.

Here are some I want to get:

Cooler Master HAF 912 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233&cm_re=pc_case-_-11-119-233-_-Product

Can you link to a picture of the card that is soldered onto your board? If the board is not useable I can recommend some really nice motherboards.
As for the case, Rosewill isn't the best so I would choose either the NZXT or CoolerMaster. Personally I like all-black cases with a internal color scheme and maybe a little mod on the outside of the case just to add some flare.
