Dear Sifus,

i am looking gradually upgrade/migrate my stock dell xps 8920 to phanteks p300. main point is i like to see my component et al. is the phanteks p300 have good airflow? also what would your advice be? my plan is as per below

phase 1
- change the mobo to a z370. currently i have i7 7700k with stock air cooler. might keep it as i plan to change to water cool in the future
- to accommodate the mobo i would switch the stock dell xps 8920 case to phanteks p300

phase 2
- change the psu to support oc and liquid cooling
- install liquid cooler

the main issue i have with the stock dell xps 8920 i7 7700k is that it tends to heat up above 80c when its gaming. i suspect its due to the restrictive air flow of the 8920 case.

i hope there is sifus out there could advice in migrating/upgrading components to a new case.


note: for those wondering why i didnt build my own desktop earlier, i got a good deal from dell for i7 7700k, gtx 1080 + 24inch monitor for less than 6k.

keep your stock casing and mod it.
after mod will be better than p300.
