Hey guys! Im planning a new build and idk whether I should go with the H440 or the Enthoo pro. I want to have a case than can keep up as a upgrade the components inside. That means AIO liquid coolers, Enough ventilation to keep 2 or more graphics cards cool, and eventually a custom cooling loop. Im open to any other cases tho. Thanks!

Well if you mean like a full blown custom loop, then the enthoo pro or fractal design define s.  for aio, all three of these cases work, ventilation meaning exhaust, the define s has a ton of openings and room for alot of fans, followed by the pro, then the h440.  All of these cases work but a define s sounds like a good choice too.  As for the two options, i personally would go h440, looks nicer.

Wat I thought it was pretty good xD

Well, it wasn't bad, but a R9 390 performs better, the Z97 board wasn't necessary because you can't overclock that chip anyways and the PSU had a few problems afaik.

The only downside of this H97 board compared to the Z97 board is, that is has no Crossfire support to add another AMD graphics card.

SLI is not supported on both boards.

Here you go:

 

 
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($172.89 @ OutletPC) 
CPU Cooler: CRYORIG H7 49.0 CFM CPU Cooler  ($34.50 @ Newegg) 
Motherboard: ASRock H97 Anniversary ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($71.89 @ OutletPC) 
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  ($46.88 @ OutletPC) 
Storage: Crucial BX100 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($79.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Video Card: XFX Radeon R9 390 8GB Double Dissipation Video Card  ($313.98 @ Newegg) 
Case: NZXT H440 (White/Black) ATX Mid Tower Case  ($108.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Power Supply: SeaSonic S12II 620W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  ($61.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM (64-bit)  ($89.88 @ OutletPC) 
Monitor: Asus VG248QE 144Hz 24.0" Monitor  ($239.99 @ Amazon) 
Total: $1302.85
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

How does the 390 compare to the 970? Is it any better?

It's achieves usually around 4-8 % higher average frame rates than a GTX 970 and because of its 8GB of VRAM its a a better card at higher resolutions.

Also Crossfire scaling is currently a bit better.
