For an Air cooled to future planned custom Loop, I'd look into the Meshify 2, Corsair 4000D/5000D, or Silent Base 802. The Torrent is a GREAT airflow cases but loses significant value once you try to watercool with it, as the included fans are 1/2 the value of the case (You technically can use the included 140mm fans for a RAD but they wont perform as well as more specialized fans)

Just as an FYI, the Fractal Torrent is currently under a recall for its fan hub. You won't see that case being sold anywhere for the time being.

 

 

It's entirely possible that I misinterpreted/misread your topic and/or question. This happens more often than I care to admit. Apologies in advance.

the 5000d airflow when populated with 6 front intake fans has so much airflow that the heatsink on the cpu becomes the primary heat bottleneck.
