Ok so this is my current PC case.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ShowI...Computer Case With Side Panel Window - Retail

But I'm worried that it just doesn't have the cooling I need anymore. Recently my computer has had BSODs, mainly due to the memory overheating... I think. At least the heatsinks are hot to the touch. I think part of the reason is blocked airflow to the chimney fan cos I don't have a modular power supply. I'm using a PC Power and Cooling 750W Crossfire Edition. So a lot of the cords are in the way.

Do I need to get a new case like the Lian Li Armorcase 50, an Antec Nine Hundred Two, or a Thermaltake Element G?

I like the classic look and all aluminum build of Lian Li but I'm not sure that 4 92mm fans is enough these days and soon I'm getting the parts in for a new i7 920 system. Do I need a new case for better airflow, or should I stick with the one that I have?

I strongly suggest you get a decent midtower case with good airflow and room for cable management. Also, the Lian Li PC-65 will cause any SLI or crossfire setup due to the poor positioning of the hard drive cage. i7 cpu and x58 motherboard chipsets overheat like crazzzzyyy.

You're quite correct that PC-65 as design is entirely outdated and has been that for long time.
