I'm looking for a case with windowed side panel, dust filters and support for water cooling since I plant to water cool in the future. I'll be willing to spend up to £100 if the case is perfect. I have looked around but haven't found the perfect one. I like the functionality and air cooling potential CM 690 III and the looks are ok however I really prefer the looks of NZXT H440W however I can't decide since I am not sure about its cooling potential, it looks quite restrictive. Basically these are the case choices I am stuck between- Phanteks entho pro (white), CM 690 III, Define R4 Windowed, NZXT H440W. Thanks in advance.

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Phanteks Enthoo Pro

Amazing reviews all round! They're entering a market so they have to be cheap :>

 

I do agree with that case.  Especially for water cooling that one is the clear winner.

 

The H440 isn't to bad for water cooling either. But lacks a few amazing features that the Enthoo Pro does got. Especially reservoir mounting.  

The Define R4 is not that easy to go water with as far as I am aware. 

The CM 690 is oké as far as I heard, but I never looked to much at it, so can't really say.

NZXT Phantom windowed, Asus Z77 Sabertooth, Intel 2600K, Noctua NH-D14, EVGA 780 Classified, Crucial Ballistic Tactical, Crucial M4 128GB + Samsung 850 EVO, Corsair RM850, Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty Peripherals: Sennheiser HD598, FinalMouse Classic, SteelSeries Qck Heavy, Ducky Shine Zero (MX Brown), AOC G2460PF & Qnix QX2710
