Phanteks Enthoo for sure.

 

Id recommend the H440 because I have one with a similar set up to what you are planning.

 

Also I never liked the way the Phanteks Enthoo looks.

They're both very different cases. The former is optimised for near-silent operation and aesthetics, while the other is designed to hold as much hardware as one would ever need. Personally I'm a fan of full-tower systems, and have used the Enthoo Primo White for a build of my own (See my Signature).

 

The Enthoo Primo is a great case to build in and awesome for water-cooled set ups with two or more GPU's.

 

The H440 is among the most highly rated cases in it's category and will not disappoint you either.

 

Personally I prefer the Enthoo Primo. Here's my build in the Primo: http://imgur.com/a/5Gl7l#pfW1W5N

@Nosfy Where can i find pictures of your build ?

 

None yet exist lol.

 

Ive had a problem with my CPU cooler so waiting for a new one to arrive, plus a few other bits and bobs like cable extensions.

@TheDigitalRealm Wow that primo build looks awesome! But I also like the looks oft this build:http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qbGDL6VhkzM

 

Thanks man, it was tough selling it, it was my first custom loop and the first build I'd ever done any modding on so it has a lot of siginificance to me. Yeah, that one is really nice too. At the end of the day, you'll be able to build a clean, beautiful machine in either of these cases, it's whether you need the space of the Enthoo Primo more than you want the silence of the H440. One thing to be careful with is that with the Enthoo Primo, unless you're putting the right hardware in it, it will look empty, and I don't like that look. If you aren't putting a Custom Loop in the Primo, it will look that way. I had two 480mm radiators in mine and a 250ml tube reservoir to fill it completely. You could get away with a 480mm in the top and a 240mm in the bottom though.

 

Also if you're only using an AIO and air for the GPU's, go for the H440. I would only use the Enthoo Primo for a water cooled build really, but it's up to you. :)
