Suggestion on a new case.

Hi all,
I'm having heating issues with my current setup, which is as follows:
I7-7700k
Msi H270 M3
Evga gtx 1070
Corsair vengeance 2x8GB ddr4
Corsair H80i v2
Cooler master elite 430
I've had some issues for a while with the liquid temp, which goes over 40° after playing 20 minutes. The issue seems ti, be the case, so I wanted to change it (it's the only piece left of my old pc and as such is 7 years old), and I was looking for a case with good air flow and that can fit the H80i and additional fans (for which I have no space right now). Should I take a full tower, or are there good mid-towers with enough space for everything and with good air flow?
I like the 570x (or the 460x for a cheaper version), is it good, or would it give me issues?
Thanks to all who will reply!

Any mid tower case with an open top will make the difference. The fact that the Elite 430 has a closed top adds to the problem. The single exhaust fan struggles to move the warm air out of the case. Even tough I'm not using it now, I've kept my old Cooler Master HAF 912 because it has such great air flow (HAF = High Air Flow). Might want to look into that case if the appearance suits you. Case choices are a pretty personal thing.

The HAF 912 has been around for a really long time. I always expect CM to quit production, but it still sells.
Btw, the middle drive cage is removable for long cards.
