Hi, community.
So, I have an Alienware X51 R3 and I want to make it VR ready. Everything is VR ready except for the GPU, a GTX 960 2Gb VRAM. I could just buy a 970, replace and sell the 960, but I prefer buying the new GTX 1070, so I won't have to replace it soon.
Problem: The X51 does not have enough cooling and a 500w PSU to keep the 1070 ok in there. I have taken a look at these Silverstone Raven mini ITX cases, which handle much more powerful GPUs.
I am going to transfer the X51's components to the new case so the new PC is VR ready
