Hmm. Lian Li II Mesh is a large case, on their website it says it supports 384mm length? Why did you think the other cards don't fit?

Measured with a tape measure lol thickness seems be main issue

I have been given some info off someone at work saying if I upgrade my 2060 to a 4070 I will need a new CPU as well and suggests needing a Ryzen 5 5600 rather than the 3600 that I have and a new PSU what do you guys think?

It would be nice, but with a 1440p monitor, a 4070, 5600 CPU and a PSU you're looking @ £1000+, is that what you want?

I'd just get the monitor and the card first and see what happens. You may find your PSU is fine and you're happy with the performance @ 1440p.
