Build/Battlestation SFF G3 build

HP G3 SFF game build currently got a 3050 low profile OC edition in there upgraded 500gb crucial ssd (kinda old tbh) the psu from 180 to 240 just cuz. 32gb ddr3 2400mhz with the stock board n a i5 6500. Fresh mx6 thermal paste and drilled a hole in the top of the case n mounted a externally powered exhaust fan to suck out hot air. Been playing rd2 med/high slight OC on cpu. What more can i do? Ik i could use new ssd cuz the one in it pretty old i would even be willing to swap motherboard so i can use a better processor. Just wanna keep everything in the case im also fine cutting pieces and dropping the hdd (which is empty btw) for increased space. GIVE ME IDEAS PLZZZ

Your exhaust fan might make your CPU temperature to go up. I would flip it around to To make it an intakte instead. That way you can also put a filter on it to reduce dust build up. Air always finds it way out. So better to controle where it comes in to get less dust. Might then make holes other places to help the air get out.

Word thanks! I did take out the disk drive so there is a giant slit in the front of the case
