I have a Dell Studio XPS 9100 (Mid 2010) desktop system. I primarily use this PC for gaming.
My basic problem is the temps in this PC get too high. When gaming the pc internal temp, CPU, and GPU can reach up 83 degrees Celsius. From what I read over heating is a common problem with this PC. I believe the case just isn't built well and I desire to replace it. I believe the way the case is designed impedes airflow.
I was going to upgrade the CPU fan and case fans with the...
Noctua NH-U14S CPU Cooler,
Noctua NF-F12 PWM case Cooling Fan,
Noctua NF-A9x14 92 x 14 mm
...but it turns out the CPU fan I purchased doesn't fit the case. Instead of replacing the CPU fan I think it'd be better to replace the entire case if that's possible.
I've gathered some info from this and other website, forum threads etc. I know the Studio XPS 9100 uses an Intel X58 Chipset.
I also need to be able to fit a

I'd also like to use the OEM Dell PSU if thats possible.

I already spent alot, so I wish to purchase a budget case is possible.
