so, i recently (3-4 weeks ago) got a R9 380, my first ever grapghics card, and it works fine.

BUT, my case (antec vsk-3000b) is REALLY small, and if i play all the new games everything is getting way to hot.

i usually remove the side panel so it can cool better while i play but that is not really a good solution.

so, i want a new case, but it can not be expensive, because my budget is max. €50-60.

i want a mid tower case which can keep my stuff cool. :)

graphics card: around 70-80 degrees

CPU: 65-75 degrees

That's not really that hot.
I would get a new case if you would get something in the range of 85-95°C, but those temperatures are fine. If you look for a new case, because you don't like the look of your old one anymore or something similar, that's fine, but changing the case simply because your temperatures are a little on the higher side isn't needed.
I run my two graphics card at around 90-95°C all the time, until I'm done with my watercooling setup.
