Best full tower case?

I'm curious as to what people here consider the best full tower case, especially since I'll be needing one because I'm getting a decently large heatsink and will probably buy the Zotac amp extreme for my build once i have the money for it so I'd love suggestions! Preferably ones with great airflow as well!

There are plenty of mid towers that fit large heatsinks. Is there any other reason you'd want a full tower?

What else do you plan to put in it?

Where are you shopping/located? Budget?

The Zotac extreme is 12.6 inches long

 

I'm shopping on Amazon preferably and no budget but preferred not to go too far over $200

Are you shopping in the US?

12.6" is pretty standard for a large graphics card. 

What heatsink did you have in mind?

A mid tower case would fit that. I would suggest (if you have the money) the Corsair 460X RGB as it has everything a 9 yr. old would want with colorful lights and everything. It's good to bring out the kid in you. Lel

I like the air 540. I believe it can support 320mm gpu length.

 

Some info.

 

'Fan Mount Locations: 
-Front: 2 x 140mm (included), 3 x 120mm (pre-spaced for radiators)
-Top: 2 x 140mm or 2 x 120mm (pre-spaced for radiators)
-Rear: 1 x 140mm (included) or 1 x 120mm

Dual 3.5" hot swap bays

Four 2.5" tool-free SSD drive cages

Maximum GPU Length 320mm

Maximum CPU Cooler Height 170mm

Maximum PSU length 200mm'

Source

 

 

Nevermind.. 1080 and 1070 are 325mm.. dunno about 1060. It's better to go by mm, fyi.
