    Upgrade suggestions XPS 8300

    Installing a third-party motherboard in a Dell PC can be a bit tricky. Fortunately, the XPS 8300 is fairly normal. Having said that, here are some issues to watch out for:
    • The motherboard that you've chosen won't fit in that chassis. The Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z170 is full ATX, and the XPS 8300 will only take micro ATX boards.
    • The front-panel connector in the XPS 8300 is one block, as opposed to individual connectors for power switch, drive LED, etc. You will either have to find a motherboard with a matching pinout for Dell's front panel connector, or break out the Dell connector into the correct pairs to match your new motherboard's header.
    • You won't be able to use your new motherboard's USB 3.0 front panel connector because the XPS 8300's chassis doesn't have any USB 3.0 ports on the front.
    Honestly, if you're going to do this much of an upgrade, I recommend leaving the XPS 8300 as-is and building a new PC. You'll end up with nice machine that has all standard parts instead of having to jump through hoops to accommodate Dell's oddities and shortcomings.
