So, I had my whole entire build written down, spend days thinking about what case I would get, only to find out the case I wanted isn't available anymore in any shops close to me. Since I don't feel like paying ridiculous amount of money for shipping, I've decided to go with one of the cases that are available. The ones I've listed below all seem to have decent scores on Newegg: both corsairs get a 4/5 average, both CMs get a 5/5 average.

Corsair Graphite Series 230t - €70
Corsair Carbide 300r - €70
Cooler Master Scout 2 Advanced - €80
Cooler Master Storm Enforcer - €85

What matters to me is that there's enough room for all my components (I think they all qualify), that there is good cooling and - if possible - that the standard fans don't make too much noise. I don't care about looks, so things like "X has a nice design/color scheme" will not help me in making a decision.

This is the rest of my build:
i7 4790k
Ga-Z97X-UD5H
GTX770
16Gb RAM (low profile)
Samsung 250Gb SSD
WD Green 2Tb HDD
Scythe Mugen 4
Asus DVD RW
Seasonic G-650


Also, seeing as I'm in the "components" section anyway, will a Scythe Mugen 4 be enough to cool my processor? I've been thinking about getting a Noctua nh-d15, but those thinks cost like €50 more and I don't want to spend that kind of money if it's not entirely necessery.

Thanks in advance for any advice given!

Cases really are a personal preference, to be honest. Do you want a fan controller, lots of space, what kind of looks, etc. is all decided by you. They are all great cases, made by quality companies that general do a good job. If they have what you want and get decent reviews go with any you want really, me personally I would go with the Corsair Carbide 300r because I like the look of it, but that's me.
