PC Case Upgrade question
I am thinking about better airflow and cooling for my system.
CURRENT CASE: Coolermaster Elite 334U
(2 side vents 120/140mm, 1 rear, 1 front)
I only have one fan, my rear fan is set up as an intake fan currently

Should I buy 2 fans for side of the case OR should I buy a new case with top vents and top fan bays to become outtake fans?
***After adding new fans, the rear fan will be changed back to an outtake fan***

Thanks!

Hardware & temps
intel i5 4570 (normal use temp 37C)
GTX 650 Ti Boost (normal use temp 35 C)
(Peaks while gaming, CPU 60C, GPU 80C)

Let me rephrase the word "fine": it looks like a decent case for its price. And just for solving the cooling problem there is no need for a new case.

Ah right okay, thanks. So what I'm taking from this is:

-Buy the Corsair 200R , 3 fans (top, bottom side and front), buy a better CPU cooler and change the rear fan to out take again.

Although the fans you've chosen for me are 120mm (and I think I've read the 200R can take 140mm fans), shouldn't I get 140mm instead?

Thanks for all your help guys.

You think I don't need a new case? It would be cheaper. I could add 1 side fan, a CPU cooler and 1 front fan. A new case would only give me top vents and different room to work with.

For best results, buy a case with top-side vents and a bottom-side PSU mount.
Just know that with some PSUs, the main power cables might be a little short. If that happens, buy NZXT power supply extension cables if needed (or ones like it that are compatible).

Outfit the case with case fans as needed; don't just have one or two case fans, as for a gaming system, this won't be enough in terms of airflow/cooling.

Setup the Top/Rear fans for exhausting the hot air.
Setup the Front/Side fans for intaking cool air.
Mount the PSU fan-side down, so it draws cool air into itself and exhausting it's hot air out the rear, all while not disrupting your cases internal airflow.

Thank you, I do understand the importance of airflow, and with new fans added I would have them all as intake except the rear fan.

Do you suggest a new case or simply adding fans to my current case?
