Soon I'll be looking to start a new build, but I'm unsure about the cooling and case to use. I didn't see a cooling/case forums this isn't the proper one please let me know which one to use for this.

This is the it for the most part. I may change the CPU to the new Devil's Canyon (if it releases soon enough) and the motherboard to a z97 (for the new CPU or just to get for future upgrades).
I was planning on getting a Corsair Hyrdo Series cooler, but am unsure if I should/want to get the 120mm or 240mm radiator setup. Also to work with the cooler, I can't decide on a good case for good air flow, space, and sturdiness, that also looks good and has easy access to changing fans if they break.
I've been mostly looking at Corsair cases lately, but there are so many so it's hard to pick out the best. I'd prefer a full tower, but will surely consider a mid tower if it has sufficient space/width along with the above standards. I'd also like to keep it under $200.
I'd just like opinions/advice on good cases (and their fan setup) and optimal placement for 120/240mm radiators. i.e., single radiator to rear exhaust, 240 to top, etc. Also, best cooler configuration for fan direction, i.e., single vs push pull.
It can get pretty warm and humid here so optimal air flow > looks.
Thanks in advance for the help,
