I was not sure where to put these questions so hopefully this is an ok place. Amway..
I need to get a newer case and currently leaning toward a full but maybe a mid-tower might be good I am just not sure.
My current case is https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146054
As you can see it is quite old and I wan more space for both more hard drives and so on and more airflow of course. To hopefully help out here are my Pc specs:
ASRock Z77 extreme4

ASUS GeForce GTX 960 STRIX-GTX960-DC2OC-4GD5 4GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

16 gigs pf G.Skill ripjaw series ram
1 Dvd-writer
3 hard drives( 2 of 500gig WD 3.5 inch and 1 older 320 HD that I tihnk is WD but looks smaller)
Intel Core i5 2500k
I am not sure what I should be looking for so any ideas would be helpful and price range is no higher than $130 if possible
Now as far as my second question goes it's a bit more simple
Basically my CPU is getting too hot and causing issues and its most likely because the Thermal paste needs to be replaced(I got my CPU from a friend and it has worked fine for quite a while).
So what kind of Thermal paste should I get? A ceramic or something else? Also I do assume I should clean the cpu and heatsink so I do plan to get isopropyl alcohol 90% or higher.
