2TB NVMe just because + I already have 5TB HDD, Don't worry about the 2TB HDD as it's for another computer, I just put it here for convenience sake. And I already got a 2070 2nd hand for cheap so no change on that either.

The problem now is the case. I really love just about everything about the H440. But just about the only ppl who still have that case in stock are Vuugo and I haven't heard alot of good thing about them so I'm looking for other options... anyone has any suggestion for a case that's about $200 CAD or less? And with the look of things like the H440, Corsair 750D or Fractal Design Define R6 (also seem out of stock everywhere), with 4 or more front usb ports?

Why don’t you get the H500/700? 
 

I have a H200i and it was great to build in even though my GPU doesn’t really have room to breath 

H500 only have 2 front USB port, 700... now that you said it... no idea why I didnt choose it... I think my options now are between that, Thermaltake View 31 and 32 and the Corsair 750D...

Is this an absolute requirement in your case selection? Do you need a USB-C in the front as well or just 3.1/2.0s? And it seems like your preference is for a relatively flat front so no mesh front cases then?
