Need help on choosing a new case

Hello everyone, im looking to get a new case for my system 
it needs clearance for a 165mm tall cpu cooler ,because im using a thermaltake Frio
and 11 inches for my gpu,a 970 strix, i have an atx motherboard

i have 3 options
NZXT H440: I really love how this case looks and its features, but im worried about the airflow of the front, because the vents are going to be facing a wall.

NZXT Noctis450: This one is an option because its interior is the same as the H440 and i think doesnt have the airflow problem.

Coolermaster MasterCase Pro 5 : A nice case too, everything fits perfectly and doesnt seem to have airflow problems...

I would really like to afford the H440, but im really worried about the airflow, if someone owns that case and has the front vents facing a wall, please let me know how are your temps.

Id like you guys to recommend any other case with a nice interior, a nice window to showcase the components installed, nice airflow and support for my cpu cooler and graphics card, Also im really into minimalistic design, thats why i love the H440 haha, thanks a lot

The H440 is a good case and the fans can be flipped if you are concerned about the airflow (from push to pull or pull to push)

Try using the PSU Tier List!

get a air 540 if you want airflow  

Im not saying i want airflow , besides i cant find that case here and it doesnt fit my cpu cooler

 

what i said is that I love the looks and features of the h440 but im worried about the airflow of that case, everyone says it has a ''good enough'' airflow that can be problematic when the environment gets warmer

Well NZXT S340 elite have 161mm clearance for CPU cooler, so that kinda sucks xD 

In my opinion S340 elite looks amazing.

Fractal design is not an option because those cases dont arrive to my country, and the carbide 400c looks nice but its clearabce for cpu cooler is 170mm, and i dont know if my 165mm tall cooler is going to fit nicely

I think im gonna sell my thermaltake frio and go for a hyper 212 evo before choosing a new case, the evo is smaller and that gives me more options to choose cases from

The 400C will fit fine.
