New pc case or new pc fans?

I want to make my components cooler and make my system quieter. I am currently using the Inwin 101 case with 1 intake at the bottom and one exhaust at the back. I am also using the dark rock 4 cpu cooler. Would it be better to buy more fans for this case or get a case such as the be quiet 500dx which has good airflow, quiet operation and comes with three 140mm fans?

Probably better off going with the 500DX. Front fans are just going to get choked badly because of the solid panel on your case.

Laptop: 2018 Apple MacBook Pro 13"  --  i5-8259U | 8GB LPDDR3 | 512GB NVMe

Peripherals: Leopold FC660C w/ Topre Silent 45g | Logitech MX Master 3 & Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed | HIFIMAN HE400se & iFi ZEN DAC | Audio-Technica AT2020USB+

I can recommend getting fans. I am also using InWin 101 and adding 3 fans lowered my temps. 
 

But I really recommend getting that BeQuiet 500DX if you have the budget, this is a better case than the 101.

That's what I was thinking of doing, just getting a new case. Better airflow case, more fans and quieter fans. Seems like the smartest choice.

I recently got the 500DX and it is amazing.
