I am planning on gutting my Alienware Aurora r9 (i7-9700, RTX 2080 SUPER, 16gb (8 x 2)) and transferring it into a new case for numerous reasons (airflow, noise, temps, etc). I have already modded my pc to have the Corsair H60 AIO, but that still has not helped to the point where I am satisfied. Here is my PC parts list (it is a mix of parts I already own, and parts that I am planning to buy): https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RQJcRv
The only parts that I would need to buy now are the PSU , Motherboard, Case, and Extra fans for airflow. Without the motherboard being taken accounted for, I am at around $300 spent for the swap. I know very little about motherboards, and I am asking for some advice on which I should order. I would like to keep the total cost under $500 if possible.
My PC is very loud right now and I am afraid my components are not getting enough airflow. Do you think that this upgrade is worth it? Thank you for all of your help and inputs, it is much appreciated.

Hello everyone,
I bought an Alienware Aurora R9 (Think it's an R9, maybe an R10, probably doesn't matter) about three years ago and have been looking into building my own PC. Rather than buying completely new parts, I decided to keep the Motherboard, CPU, GPU, and RAM and put it into a new case. The main reason for this is airflow and room for upgradability in the future. However, I've never built a PC before (hence the prebuilt) and don't even know where to start. DO I have to make sure the new case fits whatever motherboard is inside, and what new parts would I have to get?
Thanks
