Hey, i have an alienware x51 r3 that came with a i5 6400 and a gtx 745 so i decided to upgrade the gtx 745 to a gtx 1070 FE, the only problem was that i needed to remove a fan from the ssd so the card could fit , after that i played a lot of games like gta v , ark, tom clancys, dishonored 2 and i was getting arround 76 to 91 while gaming. First of all i wanna know if this temps are good for a gtx 1070 FE because if their good i dont need to change my case anymore XD, well the thing is that i wanted to change the case and i read i needed to buy a new psu and a mini itx case causd the alienware x51's board is a mini itx. Can u tell me if it is possible to change without buying a new board and just buying a mini itx case and a new psu? And if u can can u tell me a good psu that works with a mini itx board? Can you also recommend me some good looking mini itx cases that do not overheat?
Can i move the parts of an alienware x51 r3 to a new case?

I would say the temps are kinda okay, but still its hot, how much are you willing to spend on a new case and psu, most cases support mini itx motherboards so you dont need to change the motherboard, and tell me if you prefer a normal case or a compact case for the components
and if u can list out the details of all the components

Hey, first of all thank you for your answer, i would like a normal case with glass so i can see inside that support mini itx . i have a gtx 1070 , I5 6400 intel alienware x51 motherboard , a 350W psu (im buying a new 1 ). I was thinking in a rvz01 raven silverstone for case if this is ok can u tell me a good psu?

Well what you need is really good airflow for lower temps so i would recommend these cases, you might need splliters to connect all fans to mobo

A good 550w to 650w PSU will be perfect, seasonic and some corsair psu are what i recommend always recommend
i would suggest you get this one, as well i chose the 650, in case you go overclocking
