Hi, im torn between these 2 cases, im first choice was in fact Coolermaster Cosmos SE however after reading many reviews and many videos it had its flaws and drawbacks even though its a nice looking case, so ive decided its between these 2. heres by build well what i hope to get, i might end up getting a gtx 780ti sli in the future but im not sure yet. im not to bothered about water cooling but i dont really know at the moment. With my lack of experience in this field i must assume the h100 and internal fans of the cases would be sufficient cooling for the GPY and Mobo

CPU: Intel Core i7 4770K
CPU Overclocking: 4.3Ghz - Extreme Overclock
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100 Extreme Water Cooler
Operating System: Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
Motherboard: Gigabyte G1 Sniper M5
RAM: 16GB Corsair 2133mhz Vengeance Pro (2x8GB)
Hard Drive: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5 inch Basic SATA SSD
Secondary Hard Drive: 1TB S-ATAIII 6.0Gb/s HHD
Optical Drive: 22x DVD±RW DL S-ATA
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB
Sound card: Onboard 7.1 Audio
Case: CM Storm Trooper or Corsair Obsidian 750D (Not sure Yet)
PSU: 750W Corsair RM Fully Modular

The style of the 750d isnt my favorite but it is starting to grow on me and i noticed the front panel isnt mesh will that not disrupt the flow of air from the front 2 fans behind the metal front panel casing ?
i noticed the storm seem to have an inferior air flow in side and less space than the 750d but i think i do prefer its looks so in my eyes they both have their advantages and drawbacks, any advice from owners ?
kind regards Elliot

1st I am not the owner of those cases. But I found the reviews for those cases, they use the same cpu/gpu in the review.

From the reviews you can see the Trooper have the better cooling on GPU, because the front panel has the mesh, but 750D doesn't have, that is why 750D have higher temp on GPU. Also the Trooper has other functions like the fans controller, and the 2.5" HDD/SSD dock. So I recommend to get the Trooper.
