Quiet, Cool ATX Case

Hi, was looking for suggestions for a cool and quiet gaming build. Any ATX form factor should do. In terms of components, I'll be running an MSI Twin Frozr GTX 980 and a 4790k cooled by an NH-D15. I was looking at the Define R5 and H440 but was concerned at the cooling aspects of the cases. I don't mind if the system is audible, but I'd prefer a system that remains quite cool (CPU 30-80 degrees, GPU 30-75 under load) and quite quiet (under 50 decibels). Cheers.

[PC]: i7 4790k @4.1GHZ, EVGA SC GTX 980, HyperX Beast 16GB RAM, Asus Z97-I, NH-L12, WD Green 1TB, Kingston 120GB SSD, Corsair 250D

Either the H440 or Define R4/R5 would be fine. The Silent Base 800 would be better than either for a quiet system.

I'd also suggest taking a look at the s340 if you haven't already.
