The case to go

So I'll make a new gaming rig and so I'm looking for a new case. 

 

The CPU is going to get cooled by a Kraken X61 and the GPU (800 series) with a Kraken G10 & Kraken X41. Custom fans (like Noctua nf-F12) will also be applied. I have no budget limit and I'm looking for a Mid-Tower case! 

 

What would you recommend and also why?

Full ATX isn't a problem for me as long as the case is a Mid-Tower.

 

Do you mean the Corsair Obsidian? What are the advantages of it?

I'm preffering ATX. Do you own or can you tell me something about the build quality? 

 

Linus' video about it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z43PXQbbm4U

HardwareCanucks video about it (Is it ok for me to post this link?o O) I'd watch both, they got different styles of commentating/reviewing.

It is said, that civilised man seeks out good and intelligent company, so that through learned discourse he may rise above the savage and closer to God. Personally, however, I like to start the day with a total dickhead to remind me I'm best!

Not sure, but also have a look at the Fractal Arc Midi R2, just before you get a 450D
