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...

I haven't built in a Corsair case and my thermal take case is a bit on the low end (V21) but I've built in the S340 which was good to build in and the H200i which is an itx case and due to my sfx PSU being DOA I used a normal ATX PSU and still was a joy to build in. Has great cable management, which I assume is even better on the bigger cases, and if you go with the i model it has a built in RGB strip at the top and a fan controller at the back. Though you need to install CAM which personally I don't mind.

I've had a Fractal Design Define R4 and now have a R6 coming, decent case with lots of room, not sure if it interests you but has plenty of HDD support and you can remove the HDD bays for watercooling if needed.

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?
