I want this case so bad but I am worried I might have problems fitting my components in to it.
Also, does this support liquid cooling or do I have to settle for air cooling?

The Inwin case does not support a 240mm HDD radiator, so if you really do want that case then you can't do any liquid cooling.
However, you can't really fit a good heatsink in that case either. It only supports heatsinks up to 145mm, but even the Hyper 212 EVO is 159mm. You'll probably have to get one of those low-profile heatsinks that do not perform as well. You'll probably want to go for the 650D as it's a great case and can fit all of your components.

Also, I know you don't really want any advise on the other components, but I just have to say that since you haven't bought the RAM yet, I would advise against Corsair Platinum. They don't really offer much over other RAM and are a lot more expensive. You can shave off ~$150 by just...

Its overly expensive and a bit on the small side: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=26189
There are hundreds of cases you can choose from: http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=25_547&vk_sort=4

What's the total bill in your picklist? To me it looks like a wishlist rather than a budgetted for PC. A perfromance PC should have the money spent on what matters. Have a look at Tom's $1600 and $2400 PC's. Every component should be put under a microscope by looking at reviews and forums. eg do you really need 32GB RAM? Maybe if you are video editing. But then you should go for LGA2011 mobo and 6 core CPU. And a HDD which you should have anyway.

So what are the uses you have in mind for your PC and what is your real budget?

Honestly everything in that list is bought except the liquid cooling, tower case and memory ram.
I will do 3d gaming on ultra settings.
At this point, I dont want to hear how I did not need some of the components and could have saved so much money if I bought this or that instead.
I just want an advise on a good solid case.
Corsair obsidian 650D would probably be the ideal one for me but I want to hear some thoughts from the experts here

They don't really offer much over other RAM and are a lot more expensive. You can shave off ~$150 by just going with a different brand / series of RAM. Some of your chosen parts are questionable, and it would be great if you're willing to return them to get a same performing or better performing part for a cheaper price. But it's your money and your choice, so if you are comfortable with what you bought then we can't really do anything about it.
