H100i Pro vs H150i Pro

Need help deciding which I should use on my new case.

 

I have an Intel Core i7-8700K in an In-Win 101 case with a Corsair H100i Pro now. I get idle temps now around 31c with a room temp of 28c. When i game I see average temps kick up to around 80c. My GPU (Gigabyte RTX 2080 Xtreme) gets rather hot at about 75c. I sure that's not helping the CPU temps at the H100i pulls air from the case. Pulling air into the case, on the bottom, is 3 Corsair ML120 fans. These blow directly on the GPU helping to keep it a little cooler. The new case is a NZXT H700. I plan to put the AIO in the front pulling fresh air into it, hoping this will help with CPU temps. I will have the 3 Corsair ML120 fans mounted to the top of the case to exhaust the hot air.

 

So, I guess the question is, will upgrading to a H150i Pro keep temps down a little and not bake my GPU since it will not have the bottom fans to help cooling? i also plan to use the Phanteks vertical GPU mount on the GPU.

 

I plan to use the old case on a i5-6400 setup for my little on. If I upgrade to the bigger AIO, I will use the current one on this system. Most likely overkill for that CPU, but I'm sure its better than the stock heatsink.

Upgrading could help a bit but I'd suggest at least seeing how the H100i Pro performs in the new case before deciding on whether or not to replace it.
