Will a new case reduce gpu temps?

Hi

I've currently got a cheap thermaltake case which came with my pc (it was pre-built). I updated the psu, gpu and cpu cooler about 6 months ago but I've never really paid that much attention to the temperature. I've used MSI Afterburner in the past, but as I said before, I never paid much attention to the temps.

Last night I used the on-screen display and noticed the gpu temps were 80 degrees. This seems pretty high to me as I only have a 560ti at stock speeds. My case is not exactly big, it has stock fans and the components are pretty squashed together.

Would getting a new bigger case decrease the temperature in general? I was looking at these two:

NZXT Phantom Enthusiast - Red/White
&
Corsair Graphite 600T - Limited Edition White

The Corsair seems to have goods reviews but a lot of people have said it's not exactly silent whereas the Phantom hasn't had that many reviews but people have said it's silent. Both seem to be great cases, just don't know what one to choose.

Does anyone recommend either?

Cheers
 
Thanks for the replies, sorry I wrote the thread quickly and didn't write exactly what I meant. From reading the reviews of the Corsair, I wasn't sure whether the reviews meant the fans etc were loud or it's quiet just not silent. I'm guessing from the replies it's the latter.

Out of curiosity, can you set the fan controller to auto?
