So Im thinking of changing my case from a CiT Vantage Blue gaming case 18cm wide to a CiT Venom Mesh Gaming Case 23cm wide:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/CiT-Venom-Gaming-Black-Interior/dp/B00DOYT6DQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1506625851&sr=8-1&keywords=CiT+Venom+Mesh+Gaming+Case

Can I fit in my M5-A78L-M motherboard inside with my Cooler Master Hyper TX3 Evo and my Corsair CX 600 watt PSU and GTX 970 GPU

I like this case because its cheap and goes with my current theme and is a size upgrade from my last. I am trying to get a bigger case.

Your dimensions are not in inches ... width is off by a factor of 3+. My dogs could fit in that case :)

http://www.pc-specs.com/case/CiT/CiT_Venom_Mesh_Gaming_Case/2520

Width 190mm (7.48 inches)
Length 419mm
Height 421mm

The problem, especially w/ budget cases, is that manufacturers don't put the T & E into publishing the necessary dimensions.

We do know that :

Case Form Factor = ATX, so any ATX PSU should fit so ya good there
Case Form Factor = ATX so any ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX MoBo should fit so ya good there

What we need to know is:

Max. GPU Length:
Max. CPU Cooler Height:

Ya have link to manufacturer's web site ? Most quality case manufacturers dedicate significant resources to making this info readily available.

We do know:

That we need an allowable height of 136mm
http://www.coolermaster.com/cooling/cpu-air-cooler/hyper-tx3-evo/
Heat Sink Dimensions 90 x 51 x 136 mm (3.5 x 2.0 x 5.4 in)
Click to expand...

As ever make / model card has different dimensions, w/o knowing that info, can't tell ya the card dimensions. That info is easily obtained by visiting manufacturer's web sites or e-tailers

https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA85V4SR9652
Card Dimensions (L x H) = 10.98" x 4.92"

10.98" = 278.9 mm

So look up your card and then try and track don what fits

Im gonna assume that froggy saw 23" and and the same thing I did ... anything will fit in there. I see that you changed 23" to 23cm but the web site I linked to says 19cm .....

Since the new case is wider, whatever cooler fit in the old one shud fit in the new one.... but w/o dimensions, no way to be sure.

As you have heard it certainly appears your proposed components would "fit" in that case, but if you want to be "100 percent sure" it would be best to contact the case's manufacturer.

But the *real* reason for this post is that the specs indicate the case's two USB front panel ports are USB 2.0, NOT 3.0. If you can live with that, fine, but many of us might consider that a deal-breaker, especially with your new proposed components, so I just wanted to point that out in case you weren't aware of it.

Do you think this case would be a better option?

I'm really hesitant to recommend any particular case for your needs. I have very specialized requirements for the cases we use and they wouldn't apply to your situation. Selecting a case is a very personal choice for each PC user. I can only recommend you take your time perusing the offerings of the many case manufacturers and online vendors and select the one that simply appeals to you and, of course, is compatible with your components.
