Here are the specs:

Please tell me if I should get a full tower or mid tower. I might be doing a SLI with the NVIDIA GTX 780 in the future. I want one that has good circulation of air to keep it cool.
If there is any recommendation for a better, more reliable, more stylish please do tell me.

If you may be doing SLI, and you want good circulation, a full tower may be recommended1. More headroom for your cards
2.More cooling spaces
3.Can house more components ( Obviously) So more space for liquid cooling and stuff
I understand. However I would like a mid case because I don't want it to be too big. But at the same time I want to do a SLI but no water cooling.
Which case would you go if you were in my shoes?

Yeah well, depends on your budget but for a reliable , quality case, either the
Corsair 450D
Corsair 750D ( Full Tower)
Coolermaster SE Cosmos ( Full Tower)
NZXT H440
I prefer the 450D because I'm going to be getting it for my build and it has room for some radiators, has 7 fan spaces ( I think) And has a side window, also, the fan slots all have mesh grilles so no dust can get it, the NZXT H440 looks amazing but it has no optical drive bays, so that is a downside, but it just comes down to personal preference really, looks and price etc. But for your needs a mid tower would be fine

There is one that I like but it is a full case
It is the Cooler Master Storm Trooper. Maybe something that looks like that and below $200 would be awesome. Hope this helps.

It allows you use to install a fan that blows directly over the video cards. It is important to get a full tower for dual cards since some motherboards allow you to use PCI-E slots that are far away from one another but I am not sure if your current mobo allows that but you might upgrade to one in the future and this case will be good forever.
Just don't use the cover for the power supply or you will hate me. Thanks.

Thanks for your help but design doesn't suit me. And my mobo supports SLI.
