Need help choosing case (Define R5?)

Hello!

Here is my current PC build / case: http://imgur.com/a/vSOYd

I'm thinking of buying a Define R5 Black as a new case, because my current's heat dispersion is ignored, lacks case fans, and doesn't allow any cable management. How's the heat dispersion going to be with a Define R5, and will my full build fit that case u think? :)
 
Also, if I buy a Define R5 case, will the stock coolers be enough, or would I need aftermarket fans?

if that case does the trick for you, define R5 is gonna be more than plenty with the default fan configuration.

(although, i would suggest putting the two fans in the front, and no exhausts to keep positive air pressure, and thus less dust)

If you want good heat dispersion then just get http://www.ebuyer.com/614703-cooler-master-hyperr-103-3-heatpipes-1x92mm-blue-led-fan-cpu-air-cooler-rr-h103-22pb-r1?mkwid=s_dc&pcrid=51508048139&pkw=&pmt=&gclid=CjwKEAjw5vu8BRC8rIGNrqbPuSESJADG8RV0uayCxE5SXDGMNMcnklRkYZxRz_FvH0DzNsk7Pcr6uBoCyuHw_wcB
