Right now I have a corsair obsidian 900D which I regret buying because of the weight, size and overkill, things that didn't bother me before I bought it. I have a standard ATX motherboard, 2 GPUs and a water cooling loop for the CPU and 2 GPUs, I also have a 480mm radiator at the top. I'm looking for a case which can fit all this in without being overkill and extremely heavy, a case with good cable management and can fit a 360mm radiator at the top and a 120mm anywhere else.

750D or Arc Midi R2 are good options.

+1 for the 750D. It really is your best option :)

Fractal Design Arc XL, 800D, 750D, Phanteks Enthoo Primo or the NZXT H440 (not sure about the 480mm rad though).

800d can only do 3*120

H440 has theoretical 480mm rad Support in The top if You remove your 5 1/4 bays :-)

 

H440 doesn't have a 5.25" bays and is only 475mm in length, so 480mm is not possible to have inside the case. Only up to 360mm just like the specification says. 

 

I don't want a case that can house a 480mm radiator, just a 360mm, I'm trying to cut down on size where ever I can.

 

Take a look at Carbide Air 540, or H440 (February release), or the Arc Midi R2. Those are pretty good Mid-Tower cases.

Would the Carbide air be any good for a watercooled set up on the CPU and 2 GPU's, 2 240mm radiators and a reservoir/pump 5.25 Bay?

Edit: never mind I just saw a review on the air 540 and it won't suit my needs.
