Hello guys!

First of all here is my spec list:

-I5 6600k

-Asus Z170i Pro Gaming

-G1 gaming GTX 1070

-Phanteks Enthoo Evolv mitx

-Corsair RM650x

-BeQuiet Dark Rock Pro 3

-2x Samsung 850evo 500gb (raid0)

-Seagate Barracuda 1TB

 

My problem is that my system is either overheating or very loud. I wanted a completely silent build but i failed couse the case blocks 95% of the airflow available to the gpu.

I carry my pc a lot, at least 2 times a week.(like put it in a car the travel 15-20km)

Should i swap the case for a Corsair 380T or some other portable case so that i will have a silent pc?

I personally would not spend that kind of money on a PC case. If I were you (which I am not) I would try the CoolerMaster MasterCase Pro 3. It is a mATX case and it has handles and good airflow. I do not know how good noise levels are in it since I have never owned it, but it looks promising.

I would like a portable compact case.

Your computer is actually overheating?
If you want silence I would first check and make a list of the parts that are the loudest to quietest. It might just be one part you don't expect. - In my own rig, my PSU was the loudest thing. I finally caved and bought a new one, and now my PC whisper quiet when the HDD isn't spinning.

set a custom fan curve on everything. If you really feel the airflow is bad then yes get a different case.
