If you want a case that last long, then it won't be any of these.

Corsair 330R
Supports E-ATX boards, that means there is usually a lot more room to work with and can run cards up to 450mm (17.7 inches).

I was planning to get that to since it dosnet have lots of hdd slots so i can fit longer video cards. and will it be great for cable management? And do i have to worry about coolers being to be big for the case and will there be lots of air flow?

I agree 230T is prolly the best case in your situation,
Able to easily fit a GTX 760 and the Evo 212, and when you say water cooling, im assuming you mean an All in one Water cooling device like Corsair H80i etc.
And yes that will fit perfectly fine in the 230T.

I would personally go with the 400r, I think for the price you are getting a great value, comes with rubber grommets for cable management, larger so your build wont be so cramped, will easily fit an all in one water cooler, and can fit multiple GTX 760s if you choose to add another. Its built stronger and will not feel as flimsy as the 230T. Again the 400R is larger so if size is a factor be aware it is larger and heavier.

Yes the 230t can fit a H100i, maybe not perfectly will prolly be a tight squeeze but should fit.

Even with the extra HDD slots, you can fit a video card up to 316mm long, Even a dual GPU gtx 690 is only 280mm there should be plenty of clearance even for the longest of video cards.

Its your choice tho, whatever one you like most !
