Looking for a case that would fit the components I'm gonna buy. For the motherboard it would be a MSI Z170a Gaming M9 ACK which is EATX. The two cases I was looking at was the Corsair 900d and the Thermaltake X71. The 900D says it will fit an EATX board so it would work, but honestly I don't really like the looks of the case. The X71 says it will only support an ATX board, but the Z170A M9's dimensions are the exact same as the largest ATX board the X71 will house. So my first question is will that motherboard fit in the X71?

For my custom water cooling loop, I was thinking about getting the EK-Kit X360. The radiator on this thing is 60mm thick and with a push pull configuration it will be even bigger. So my second question is, will it fit in either case (preferably on top), and if it fits in the X71, will it still fit with the Z170A M9?
 
Solution
The Thermaltake X71 won't fit an EATX board. What about the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Glass?

I don't know if the radiator will fit or not.
