1blackburn :
this wil be my first pc build. the problem i have is the case, i searched almost a month but i still don't know which one to buy. i'm going to do water cooling in the future so i need a case which wil fit enough radiators and a reservoir. i don't want to mod my case. budget won't be a problem
i wil be cooling 2 gpu's and cpu. i'm planning to buy the asus maximus viii formula so that one wil be cooled to but if you have suggestions for a better mobo tell me.
the enthoo primo wil not be a good option because of the limited space for the gpu.
A really good case for Watercooling is the Air 540 giving it has a dual chamber design meaning you can hide every pump and stuff behind and get only nice tubing on the front
or the Fractal Design R5 will be nice and quiet.
There is as well the Corsair Obsidian series but a bit too expensive.
Overall as far as I know Corsair is very supportive to water cooling, they have cases specially designed to work with Water cooling.

Overall i think a
Air 540 is the best case for water cooling giving the dual chamber system, Or if you want to show your pump and reservoir the
Obsidian 750D
I had the smaller brother Air 240 and I can confirm they´re super cases.
Something like this I find a nice water cooling :

Edit: A build like this :

If you wan´t you could go for a better motherboard like the Asus Maximus VII Formula, but I don´t think having a motherboard almost as expensive as the Processor is worth. If you wan´t more you can take the Ultimate i7 6700k, But it would perform very similar to an I5 6600k O/c at 4.8 Ghz in game
and at the power level a 750 watt PSU unit will suffice, just need to be good quality:

The cool with the AIr 540 is that it comes in some other colors, giving you got a white motherboard style, you could for example buy the white case version, buy some white tubing install some white leds. and Bam you got an icy cold looking case. Possibilities are infinite :lol:
