The Phanteks Enthoo Pro will give you better airflow and great cable management. It also is an amazing case for water cooling.

The NZXT H440 is a great looking case and is very quiet. It lacks good airflow though. the top fans will fight to get air out and the front fans have so little ventilation to breath in from (Noctua NF-F12 or Silverstone AP123 fans would help with this, since they are static pressure optimized. It also has a ten fan hub in the back. The fans would run at max, but if you get fans like Noctua's, they have low noise adapters to lower the RPM (or you could just buy them).

They both have a PSU cover to hide you wires. They both cover the drive cages.

The Enthoo can be completely disassembled.

It depend on what you put in the case. If you need the airflow, get the Enthoo. If you need silence , get the H440 (though I can't imagine that the Enthoo would make much noise at all).

What would you recommend for a first time builder? I've never really experienced loudness or quietness of a PC so I can't tell how good NZXT H440 silencing will actually be like. I'm considering this build. FYI the GPU are tentative. I might switch to an AMD 290/290x.

If you are getting a 290x (or 290), I don't recommend the NZXT case unless you get something like a Kraken G10 and an NZXT X40 to cool it. Those cards run hot and you need good airflow and ventilation for them. The Enthoo Primo Pro is a great case for only $99. I don't know why BlackPseudicide said it was wayyyyy too expensive.
