What is your budget for the case?

[xven]

i have about 400-500$ us right now so its more then needed i believe worse case in a week i can add funds to the pot...

I really like the NZXT H440 or the NZXT S340. A few other good ones are the Cooler Master HAF 912 and the Thermaltake Versa H24.

I am pretty sure none of those can accommodate his motherboard as it's an Extended ATX and not a standard ATX form factor.

I have the phanteks enthoo pro m, very good case

Can you also let us know how big you want it? Does it need to be smaller or do you have a lot of desk space?

I have a very large desk space... i had a corsair 900d on it before the water tank died on me and the pc fried... thx to my vacations it took two weeks to see the problem and most parts died on me.

The Cooler master HAF 932 Advanced is pretty nice too. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119160&cm_re=extended_atx-_-11-119-160-_-Product

That sucks man, honestly I'd take a look at the Phanteks Enthoo series as they can fit your E-ATX motherboard, have a side window so you can see all your goodies inside, and are good looking cases as well in my opinion as I'm a minimalist design fan lol.

A few suggestions  

1. http://www.parvumsystems.com/product/m1-0-atx Just ordered this one myself, pure acrylic case, with many customization options, just hit them up! 

2. https://www.in-win.com/en/gaming-chassis/509 Just announced really nice looking glass case, if you want to show off those Sli 1080

3. http://www.lian-li.com/en/dt_portfolio/pc-o8wbw/ Nice ATX case, (might be hard to work in) but makes your build a art piece. 

4. http://www.ncix.com/detail/phanteks-enthoo-evolv-atx-aluminum-6c-130365.htm Lastly a cheaper glass case that won't break the bank! (Also comes in white and silver). 

Thanks!

Warm regards,

Josh

i like https://www.in-win.com/en/gaming-chassis/509#product_gallery but would you confirm that i could use a 3 fan radiator in the front and use fans to exhaust hot air from the top? if so this looks like the winning option

Its very new so I have no idea, I'd suggest just hitting them up with a email. I bet our friends over at in win can answer all your questions

 

*EDIT*

Just scrolling down the page, yes in fact you can. Just scroll down this page about half way https://www.in-win.com/en/gaming-chassis/509 @xven

Just remember to make sure the case you decide on supports your motherboard size, only the InWin and Lian-Li cases that @Glanir suggested actually support E-ATX motherboards that are as large as yours.

Get a Phanteks Evolv ATX, you won't regret it.

Won't work, his motherboard is an E-ATX that is 272mm wide, the max width for E-ATX motherboards that the Evolv ATX supports is 264mm per Phantek's website. @xven

 

People really need to check compatibility of a case before making suggestions, this makes everyone on the forum look bad when people give out suggestions that don't work and the OP buys the wrong case...

Are you looking to show off all your parts? As I suggested that Phanteks case but with glass instead of plastic, might help with future suggestions?

I Would go glass since yes i will do a very nice cable management job and i will also work on rgb lights to go red and black on the whole case. but i need to make sur that phanteks cases will hold the motherboard

imreloadin was not wrong ... the phanteks dont hold the space needed for the motherboard but they are nice cases.

Unfortunately it looks like that case won't fit your motherboard. You could go with a smaller motherboard, or get a bigger case like this one.

the motherboard was a free gift so i won't change it since its a 500+$ motherboard.... so i need a bigger case i guess

The other case I like aesthetically that can fit all your components is the Corsair 760T.
