So I am building a custom water loop can someone tell me what cases are best for this type of build

360 rad and a tube res

I'm thinking enthoo pro. Switch 810. 780t. 760t. Or 600t

If you could tell me what ones are good or maybe rank the btw it's a full size atx build thanks

Phanteks enthoo is really good for that. I'd go that way

 

I'd say 

1. Enthoo

2. 780t

3. 760t

4. 600t

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

It offers no better water cooling capabilities than the Enthoo Pro, all it has is more bling.

This is true. I have the Enthoo Luxe. It's exactly the same case layout as the Pro, just with "premium" features like the LED lighting on the outside of the case and stuff like that. This case is really great though! I will ask you this, are you just using that one rad? If so it will work fine. I am getting hard pressed for space, and wish I had gone with the Pro almost. However I have a 360 AND 240 rad in the case, without the 240 in the front I would have much more space. I think it will turn out ok, I'm waiting on the last part now.The case comes with some great brackets for water cooling. I'm mounting my Bitspower reservoir with the included bracket and it fits it perfectly! I am pretty pleased. Case also comes with pump bracket that can fit in many different spots on the floor of the case. Case is definitely a recommendation from me for water cooling, but if you are planning on having more than 2 large rads you might consider the Primo so you can use the entire case floor for rads too, as the power supply is tucked away in another compartment in that case.

It can house fans over the internal frame... allowing up to 420 60mm thick rad with fans in pull or a normal ~45mm rad with fans in push/pull.

Moreover it has much more metal on the outside and the psu shroud is included
