How about your processor fan ?Is it stock?

Start there with replacing with a nice after market one.

I have the hyper evo 212, it works well, but it is so large in my mid-sized crappy case, that it sits directly next to the psu fan which seems to blow hot air (as it sucks).

Unfortunately your solutions don't reside here...they reside in your budget which we cannot assist with...
Best of Luck.

Check out the HAF 912 which is around £20 cheaper than the 932, but still a good case for air cooling.  Bitfenix Raider is also a similar price
The Antec 300 is a good case for the price, too, if you grab a few fans for the front (or have some lying around).  Otherwise, just swap the rear fan to the front and it's still quite good.  That's around £50.
Any good, or shall I keep going?

I might be reviving the thread a little, but it's pay day and I'm purchasing the parts today!
The motherboard and PSU are fine, however I'm hunting around for another case, as the HAF is a mid-sized and I kind of want a full-tower for the little bit of extra space.

I've been looking at this: http://www.cclonline.com/product/78907/GIGA-GZ-G2-PLUS/Cases/Gigabyte-GZ-G2-Plus-PC-Tower-Case/CAS0579/

Not exactly the prettiest, but it has some fans included, large case and a perfect price. Unless there are some reasons anyone can see why I shouldn't?

The Gigabyte case in your link is smaller than the HAF 912.
Gigabyte: 185 x 420 x 445 mm
HAF: 230 x 480 x 496 mm

I've never used the Gigabyte so I can't comment on it from personal usage, but it looks OK for the price I guess.
At worst, you'll lose £5 or so if you don't like it and want to send it back for a refund under DSR, so if you like the look of it then it's worth a shot.

Good spot, I just saw someone who said it was a large mid-tower.
I don't really have any expectations for height or length, although now you've said it, I'm not sure my hyper evo 212 would fit. (It barely misses the side panel on my current case).

[Calum]

Evo 212 dimensions: 120 x 80 x 159 mm
It's fairly small as decent air coolers go, but I think the Gigabyte case might be a little tight even if it does fit - 185mm doesn't leave a lot of clearance when you factor in the side panels, motherboard, standoffs, and space behind the other panel.

[Jasy19]

Yes, it's very dodgy! I think I might just have to get it and see though. On the top-side of the cooler, there are four little gold heads, which may be the parts that stick out. I suppose I could always drill a few holes for them to poke through, lol.

[Calum]

You could, but I would really recommend just getting a larger case.  Having the ends of the heatpipes poking out the side panel isn't really ideal.  If you were after a case with more space than the 912, the Gigabyte is not going to meet your expectations.

[Jasy19]

Perhaps I'll just go with the HAF then, it has better dimensions than my current case so it should be absoloutely fine.

[Calum]

The HAF will certainly fit the 212 Evo, I've fitted larger coolers in a 912 before.
If it's not to your taste though, there are plenty of others on the market, we can take another look for one you like better?

[Jasy19]

Yeah I'm looking around still for other choices

[Calum]

I have a huge CM case at home going spare
Off the top of my head, the Corsair 300R might be worth a look.  If I haven't mentioned the Antec 300, I'm mentioning it now - it might be an older case but it has plenty of cooling and expansion options, and it'll take large coolers with ease.

[Jasy19]

The Antec 300 looks pretty good, would you say getting a 120mm fan for the front would be worthwhile? £50 seems pretty reasonable for that case.
