I would personally go for a mid tower. Full tower IMO would be too empty

It all depends what you plan to do in the near future, full bespoke watercooling loop? SLI/Xfire? Need space for HDDs?

In terms of pricing, most of full tower cases are usually expensive compared to mid towers. Whereas mid towers range from £30-£200, depedning on brand and quality.

Again its ultimately up to you to what case you choose, but for me personally, have a look at Fractal Design's lineup, Define S, R5, to name a few - they're pretty decently priced too.

Anything that looks like a Transformer. Reputable makes are all pretty good nowadays, you can't REALLY go wrong tbh. It's more about what you will be putting in it (your spec poses no obvious issues), and whether silence or cooling is your priority. It's simply then dictated by budget and what you like aesthetically.

Midi unless you plan for some component that won't fit in a midi.
