I am building a new machine soon and need recommendations for the best case in terms of performance and noise reduction. I am currently leaning towards the Air 540 from Corsair with full BeQuiet! Fans and the Dark Rock Pro 3 CPU cooler. Performance is more important to me than silence. What cases do you all recommend?

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8kPDgL Revised build for now, anymore recommendations? In particular what do you all think about the BeQuiet fans vs Noctua? I could also use case recommendations, I'd prefer smaller/mid tower cases with excellent airflow. Any interesting case ideas?

I primarily play Player Unknowns Battlegrounds, Black Desert Online, Guild Wars 2, Overwatch, and other FPS/MMOs. I want a build that gets very high FPS in these types of games. I am also interested in it being at least somewhat power efficient (Black Desert Online is a game designed to run 24/7) and having the ability to be quiet if I want to turn the fans down. What are your opinions on the setup I am thinking of now? Budget is less than $3,200.

The improved build quality is my favorite part of the HTC One M8.
