You can if your motherboard uses a standard form factor (eATX, ATX, micro-ATX, Mini-ITX) and if your GPU fits in it.

Look up your specific specs online. Look at the motherboard it uses, and see what form factor it is.

Pretty much any ATX Case would do, the X51 is just a standard ITX board.
When you transfer it to a different case, you do not re-use the Alienware power board (currently connected to the ATX power on motherboard) and the External Power Supply.

You will also need an ATX power supply.

Yes, on the board it is standard ATX 24pin connection
ITX is just the form-factor (smaller MicroATX w/ just a single expansion slot, PCIEx16)

So given the ITX board small size; you'll have a wide range of Case choices;
ITX, mATX, ATX Mid/Full Towers

You will also need an ATX Power Supply

What you will not need to carry over from the old X51 Case:
- 24pin ATX power board + extension cable
- external power brick
- PCIE expansion slot extender

Well I assume he made a typo and ment he has the Alienware X51-R2. This MoBo has the socket 1150 so there arent many i7 CPU's with that socket. Also for a GTX 1080 Ti he needs a way better PSU as the the 1080 Ti goes up to 375W. If he buys a new CPU, GPU, PSU and Case he might be cheaper or betetr of by getting a whole new system with a MoBo that supports the 1151 socket. He still could use parts of the alienware like the RAM and HDD/SSD.

True true...

OK OP, what is the current CPU & GPU in that X51?
