Best case for this build

I'm looking for a ATX case for this build:

 

GPU:              Radeon r9 290x TRI-X   ( really long graphics card )

 

Cpu:               i7 4790k

 

Powersupply: EVGA Supernova G2 750w

 

Motherboard: Asus Z97-A

 

The case needs to have great airflow since the r9 tends to get pretty heated.

I would like it to have good cable management and have lots of space.

Where are you shopping? Budget?

H440 has pretty bad airflow, define R5 is better.

Both have bad airflow.

The enthoo primo is perfect your looking for space I didn't see him mention a certain price point so you guys telling him midrange cases is ridiculous

Define R5 has great airflow, H440 has really thick noise cancelling foam so it chokes the fans, H440 comes with three 120mm front fans, R5 with one 140mm front fan yet it still has better airflow without adding more fans, I actually have same temps with front door open and closed :)

That doesn't seem right--how did you test your temps?

How long did you run the tests and did you get a measure of the ambient temp during them?

10 minutes each, difference was 1C.

10min isn't enough for temps to normalize--should be shooting for at least 30min before looking at temps.
