Case + Rad Orientation

Hey all!

So I've been looking into better ways to cool my toasty i7 7700k and keep my GTX 1070 Gigabyte G1 Gaming noise down, and have come to the conclusion that there are a lot of cases with solid fronts, limiting airflow drastically.

I currently use a Phanteks P400 and have the front off the case, lowering temperatures 5-10 degrees. My Corsair h100i v2 has the radiator mounted to the front of the case as well, as my current MOBO has a big ol' heatsink thing that is too big for my rad and fans. 

I'm looking potentially in the future doing a custom loop, but right now am after a case that could potentially fix this? A free/cheap solution that keeps a high quality is also pretty welcome.

This is what I have, modded to fit a 280 radiator in the front. Will fit yours stock.
