Should I upgrade to a full-tower or a larger mid-tower case?

Hello! I just got a CPU cooler (Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED) and it made my current chassis (Cooler Master K350) a bit too cramped.

The cooler has reached exactly to the very end of the side panel. I took this into consideration so I'm deciding to upgrade my case between something slightly bigger like the NZXT H440 or the InWin 303 which are both mid-towers.

Since I'm not really smart when it comes to space clearance, I want to ask for help here in the forum. Should I consider the "slightly bigger" mid-tower cases or just upgrade to a full-tower?

Here are my other specs:

OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit
Case: Cooler Master K350
PSU: Corsair VS650 650W
CPU: Intel Core i5-7600 3.50GHz
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 LED
RAM: 2x8GB G.Skill Ripjaws V 2400MHz
Motherboard: msi Z270 Gaming Pro Carbon
Graphics Card: msi GTX 1050Ti 4GB OC
Storage: (2x) Seagate BarraCuda 1TB

Thank you! :)

I have the same cooler and a Thermaltake Versa N26 case and the same thing happened with the cooler being right up to the side panel, no performance issues if you are worried about that. As far as upgrading goes pick whatever case you like that has the needed clearance, you can find the max cooler height in any case's specifications page. :)


Cheers,
