Here is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/WVD9RB

I want quiet operation but optimal airflow for overclocking both my GPU and CPU. I am going for a red and black theme, so H440 would fit nice there. But, is the airflow in the H440 good enough? Thanks for the help!

760T actually. Your build is kinda weird, I'ma going to see if I can fit a 970 in it

I would lean towards the H440 for quieter operation, but if you were to seriously liquid cool in the future, I would go with the Enthoo Pro.

I think this build would be better

You can easily water cool in either case. Your build will run much quieter in the H440. You'll have slightly more room in the Enthoo, which unlike the H440 has 5 1/4" bays, but is much heavier. It's all preference really. 
I'm heavily considering acquiring the H440 myself, but if you didn't go that route and wanted a mid tower I'd say buy a Corsair 750D.

You could not fo wrong with both. Just decide whichever one you like the most when it comes to looks. I personally really like the clean look of the H440.

If you think these companies exist for any other reason you're gonna be disappointed my dear. CAVEAT EMPTOR"
