I have this build https://pcpartpicker.com/list/8WJgw6 that's motherboard is 272mm wide eatx. I have grown to hate the corsair 400c for the lack of good room and cable management. I would like new case suggestions that will fit this case. My main wants are psu shroud of some sort, good/easy cable management, and preferably a 5.25 external bay but that's not a must.

Hmmm... I guess $300 as long as it's justified over the sub $200 cases

I would go with this case over the Luxe. Better airflow anyways ;) 

 

Or, The Fractal Design Define R6 (It's convertible to an "Open layout" so you dont have that right plate anymore!)

The Phanteks Enthoo Pro M TG is E-ATX. I have a Gigabyte GA-X99 Gaming G1 Wifi board in mine.

"E-ATX *(up to 264mm wide), ATX, Micro ATX, Mini ITX" I took that off their website, your E-ATX is 259mm wide and mine is 271.78mm wide
