Now I have been looking on the Web and talking though the forums and I need some opinions.

This is my current system

I7-4930k

Evga X79 Dark EATX

32gb of ram crucial tactical

Gtx 780 ti matrix

Xonar pheobus

Swiftech H220-x

Corsair AX1200i

One ssd and two hdd

Cases I'm looking at

Be quiet silent base 800

Phanteks enthoo primo

Phanteks enthoo luxe

Now I know there will be a few people who will say the R4 and the R5 but the will not fit what I have. Also a few will say the h440 I am not a big fan of the case. Your opinions will help me out thank you for all who post.

Corsair 750d looks great, to me. Out of those i would take the BeQuiet. 

 

I'm not the biggest fan of the Phanteks case. 

 

Maybe the phantom series by Nzxt would tickle your fancy? 

 

Or a haf maybe? 

Bleigh!  Ever hear of AC series?

Honestly, I think 32GB of RAM is overkill... What are you going to be using this for? 

 

As for a case, the Enthoo Pro is a very wise choice as it's very good and spacious but sometimes has problems with the window as some say it can be scratched easily. I'm not sure that's too big of a problem.

 

I'd also say to go for a GTX 980 or a 970.

I've built inside the HAF 939 and it was a lovely experience. I highly recommend that case.

they do seem to be a dream to build in, alright. 

 there is enough space to climb in and route the cables yourself >.<

Corsair Air 540?

Luxe is my favorite out of all of those, from what I've heard it is one of the best cases to build in and the only downside I hear from more than one person is the window being scratched which happens with most windows, just buy another window for 10 bucks and replace it, it's one of the easiest mods out there to do.

Enthoo Luxe. That lighting is beautiful, and the layout extremely functional.
