Fractal Define R5 is a pretty good sound dampening case.

 

Like mentioned above though, you'll need to get silent fans and such.

Silent Base 600/800

 

I think. Also, you can have an extremely soundproofed case and still hear noise, you need silent components like Noctua/be quiet! fans, fanless (mode) PSUs, graphics cards with fan stop modes and a large heatsink (with or without quiet fans :P)

I will not be able to isolate the case, it has to sit on my desk.

Also, I'll either be going with a H110i GTX or a Phanteks PH-TC14PE

why can't you isolate when it's on the desk?

Well all this information is a given, I only need the information bit on the part of, which case is best at damping sound. I guess.

You mean insulate? Or something of those terms?

 

Isolate means to locate it somewhere else away from me.
