XPS 8930, RTX 3080 compatible?

Hi Everyone,

Following the NVIDIA RTX 30 series reveal event, I think of upgrading my XPS 8930's GPU to the RTX 3080. I know I'll need to upgrade my PSU (since I currently have the original 460W PSU), but I'm also concerned about heat buildup. The problem is that the 3rd party designs revealed so far don't have any rear-blower designs, only open-air ones. However, it does seem that the FE will have a sort of open-air/rear-blower mix design, as can be seen in this photo:

What do you think? Will it be enough?
