Hey guys I plan on getting a gaming atx motherboard with dual Gtx 980ti hybrid gpu's liquid cooling and a standard to bigger power supply and 32gbs of RAM was wondering how big of a case I would need and if I would have any problems mounting the fans that are on the gpu's
What computer case would be big enough with good airflow?

There are a lot of mid-tower to full tower cases that fit what you're describing. I think the best option at this point would be to find some cases that appeal to you and then offer them up for us to critique. We would then be able to determine if the parts will fit and you won't be stuck with a case you don't care for the looks of
I don't understand the question about mounting fans on the GPU, they should be already mounted.

This is the graphics card I'm looking at when you look at it you may get what I mean about mounting the fan

And I'm not sure if I would need a bigger case since I would be getting 2 of these gpu's

Okay, I see what you're dealing with here EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB HYBRID GAMING, "All in One" Water Cooling (non-mobile link). Are you looking to water cool your CPU also and if so what cooler for it?
What about size limitations? There's the 24"x24"x24" case (MountainMods UFO - quite expensive but awesome IMO) that can handle almost any amount of cooling you want to throw at it

Yeah we are going to need to know a lot more about what you want as a whole (complete list of stuff if you have it)
So basically you want to avoid something like I did (below) where I had to snip the ram heat spreaders to get it all to fit inside the case right?
That might be a problem with two of those cards. Using a radiator ready box, right off I can think of something like locating both of them up top. However the length of hose may not allow this (and as above you may get ram clearance issues). Another way would be to mount the lower card to go out the back of the box and the upper car to use half the top. This would still let you use at least a 120mm~140mm liquid cooling solution for the cpu if an air cooler would interfere with the hoses. But again, you may get ram clearance issues. There are a lot of cases that will allow you to mount fans/radiators practically anywhere you want, but sometimes at the cost of generating case heat. The fan/radiator assembly may need to pull into the case and effectively undermine the point of most liquid cooling solutions.
Replace my CPU cooler with two of those, but side to side for an idea
