So I have a gaming PC, had it for over a year there is nothing wrong with it, it works perfectly fine I can run all games maxed out. But now its getting to a time when I can start to upgrade different parts of the PC.

My main idea was to change from a NZXT source 340 mid-tower case to a full tower case. Is it worth doing? Because I thought due to it being a bigger case the air flow would be better and it would benefit the equipment I have inside the PC. But my other problem with that is will the equipment I have in the case at the moment fit into a full tower or will I need to buy new equipment to fit the case?

Specs:

4GB Zotac GTX970 PCI
16GB RAM
Intel Core i5 4690ks1150
1TB WD SATA 3 HDD
MSI Z97 GUARD-PRO Motherboard
Nocturnal nh-d15s CPU Fan
620W Seasonic M1211-620 EVOPSU
256GB crucial MX100 2.5 7mm

I also have:
2 AOC monitors
Razer Keyboard and Mouse

If there is any advice on something else that I should upgrade, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the time!

There isn't really a budget. I would say go to mad in prices because I know the PC could be upgraded but cost a ton. So i'd say what essentially needs to be upgraded.

But for say theoretical sake £0 to £500

The main focus though was on the case and if I should change from a mid tower to a full and if its worth and if i can do it with the equipment i already have.

No need to upgrade an S340. No need for a larger case. If you really want a case upgrade, something like a Phanteks Enthoo Pro, NZXT H440, or Fractal Design Define C are better quality, slightly larger cases for around the £100 mark.

If you're doing any other upgrades, add another SSD before they sky rocket in price and upgrade monitor(s).
