New build case choice

Hi guys

In a few weeks time i'm hoping to be putting together my brand new build to replace my current one. However i'm running into a few problems with deciding on which case would be best for my build whilst also being aesthetically pleasing. I've been very interested in both the Corsair 400c, and the Phanteks Pro M. I'm going to be using my NH-D15 to cool my new CPU and i've just realised that the 400c is not that great for airflow, and also that the Pro M's front air filter doesnt completely filter the intakes. So if anyone could clear up/agree with any of these potential problems or even recommend other cases for me then it would be a massive help!

Thanks!

I have the 600c and would definately reccomend it unless you have a bunch of drives. 

Yer i only have 2 drives and thats probably how it will stay, 1 SSD and 1 HDD.

Would you recommend it for air cooling?
