better case, like a enthoo lux, then custom cpu + 780 loop

cant use full tower, it has to fit underneath my desk. what do you think is a sexy mid tower case?

Define R4 is a solid choice for a mid-tower.

You could also try the H440 if you want something a bit different. (USB/power buttons are on the top, which works well if it's under your desk)

How about the Corsair 650D?

 

4x 5.25 bays

 

and excuse me, but how short are you to not be able to fit a full-tower under your desk?

Fair enough, If I were you I would get a better case and one of those "custom watercooling in a box" type thing like this:

no problem. I think that it is pretty cool, I believe that EK and XSPC also do water cooling kits

According to their website you can fit a 240/280mm rad in the top, but I am not sure about thickness. You might want to ask someone over at the watercooling or the case/powersupplies section.
