What case should I buy

I am looking for a new minimalistic case with a large side window. I need at least two HDD bays and one SSD. I will need a case with enough clearance to fit gigabye gtx 970 g1 gaming which is around a ft. My motherboard is micro-atx so I need appropriate mounting holes for it. I am thinking if getting the corsair obsidian series 750D airflow edition.

Is your mobo ATX? If so Phanteks is worth serious consideration. They make hella great cases.

I think that that is the best choice for you, other than the define r5

A Micro-ATX board in a 750D?

I wonder how that would actually look like :-|

 

The 350D would be my choice and you could buy a top magnetic mesh filter from Corsair's website.

The only problem I have with getting a 350D is that if I ever want an atx mobo I would need a new case

I just got a Define R5 and love it.  The amount of customization is great, and it's very quiet.
