I was wondering if you think by changing my case i would get better temperatures, (im not saying mine are bad just wondering if you think i could beat it on air?)

Case Antec P280
1 Nocuta Fan at 7V in the middle (behind drive cages)
2x Noctua Fan at 7V at the top

Tested at 22c Room Temperature
i7 3770k @ 4.5ghz
CPU: Idle 23-24c on all cores
CPU: Max 45 49 59 58 [tested using prime/bf4]

R9 280X OC
GPU: Idle 32c
GPU Max: 66c

if i changed my case, to something with better air flow like a carbide do you think i could reduce those?
 
I hope you are trolling ! :D

I think those temps are brilliant! Better than mine and I've got 750D with 2 x 140 mm fans in front and a few more fans in a very roomy case with H100 on Cpu. On Prime or IBT it can go up to 65 on some cores and that is Sandy not Ivy which is a less hot chip. I would not worry if I was you :)

Edit: that makes me think I need more fansssss!! :D
