Hi,
TL;DR at the bottom!
My rig:
Motherboard: ASUS P8-Z77-V Deluxe
CPU: Intel 3770k 3.50GHz (Stock Cooler)
RAM: 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz
GPU: ASUS GTX 970 4GB STRIX
Storage: 1x120GB Corsair SSD Force Series 3 + 1x240GB Corsair SSD Force Series 3
PSU: Corsair HX1000 80+ Silver
Case: CM Storm Trooper
I've been pretty unlucky with my case since I bought it. Both feet in the back has broken off, there's some scratching on the left side and some plastic has broken of one of the dust filters. It happened while going to several LAN parties, because my dad weren't careful enough with my case.
Now, several of my friends have gotten new computers, and they all feature a case with glass in it, which I genuinely like. And I was looking at some cases the other day, which got me into thinking of getting a new case. In my old case, I have all of the fans that was included with the case, but with the new one, I would like to buy some high quality ones from Corsair and set them up instead.
But there's a little problem. Down the road when Broadwell and Skylake CPU's arrive, I'll be changing to one of those CPU's and change MOBO. I will also buy a Corsair H110 for the new CPU, for which I will OC.
I just don't know where I should place the fans.
This is what the Corsair Obsidian 750d supports:
Front: (x2) 120/140mm
Top: (x3) 120mm or (x2) 140mm
Rear: 120/140mm
Bottom: (x2) 120mm
Should I set it up like this?
Front: Corsair H110 (Intake)
Top: 2x140mm (Exhaust)
Rear: 1x120 (Exhaust)
Bottom: 2x120mm (Intake)
I don't know if I should place the Corsair at the top instead as an exhaust, but that does not cool the CPU as much as if it were an intake, but I dont think that the tubes is long enough to go from the CPU to the front. And Negative Pressure vs Positive Pressure?
TL;DR: Buying new case, don't know where to put new fans, which fans (from Corsair) should I consider buying?

I'm getting a case with glas on the side; then I shouldn't get a cooler which isn't visually appealing imo. I do agree that the D15 is cheaper, more effective (as it does not occupy the top fans) and is quieter. I just don't get why you would build a fan thats brown! Is Noctua really the best ones to get? Or does Corsair have a CPU fan cooler alternative?
