Case suggestions?

So I'm currently running a Rosewill Cullinan. When I bought it it worked fine for what I needed but I've out grown it so I need to upgrade. I've spent hours upon hours browing around NewEgg and I still don't know what case I want, so I want to ask people that have hands on experience. I'm not picky, but I need for my 360mm radiator to fit, my 240mm radiator, preferably having the ability run both rads in push/pull. I'd also like to have a good size basement with plenty of space in the back/bottom for cable management. Currently, when I put the back glass on my Cullinan I feel like the glass it going to pop from all of the stuff in the back. Let me know what you guys suggest, preferably I don't want to spend a crazy amount of money, let me know what cases you recommend.

You set on tempered glass? Or does the window type not matter to you?

I'm not too bothered with the material of the side panels. Glass looks really nice, but it's heavy as shit. I can go either way.

I'm a firm believer in Phanteks cases, I don't know if any of the P400 series will support your 360 rad but I do think this guy (or the black interior version)  will support a 360 up top.  Tons of room on the bottom, lots of room and cable management, sexy glass panel.  Downsides are probably the side mounted USB and a lack of sideways PCI slot brackets.  That'd be my pick.  I'm sure others will have different suggestions

That actually looks really good. It looks like it'll fit both radiators in push/pull as well. That's a solid suggestion man thank you.

NP! I've built multiple systems for friends/family using Phanteks cases and liked them so much I got one for myself.  I hardly ever recommend anything else now :P

Wholeheartedly agreee with @Polyvalent's recoomendation. Case is a sleeper in the PC case market when Meshify C's, P400A's and O11D's reign supreme in the dreams of potential builders. Beware tall RAM and VRM heatsinks though!
