Hi guys, this is my first time building a rig, and I'm pretty confused as to what case I should use. I was going to use the CM Storm Trooper at first.

 

But then I asked around on other forums, and realised that I needed to fit a 360mm rad (RX360) into the case. So I went to google around, but found that most cases are really cramped with a RX360 in the top (like the Switch 810). So what case should I use? (HAF X has been considered, but I really don't like the aesthetics)

 

Just for reference, the parts that might obstruct a radiator:  

Asus Maximus VI Formula (I'm assuming its gonna be the same size as last-gen)

XFX 750W Black Edition 80+ Gold

Raystorm D5 RX360

 

Thanks in advance :D

The cosmo 2 is really big and good for water cooling though it is a bit expensive : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119252
