So I am currently using a NZXT Phantom 530 and it has been a pain to work in. When I originally built it, it had terrible cable management and at this point its unbearable.

On top of that, some things are broken and the hard drive tray is barely functional.

And to add insult on injury, you barely can screw in PCI screws due to the weird blocker.

So I was thinking about getting a new case (Tonight). I was looking and I saw the Corsair 570x.

Is this a good case to build in?

And I also need help getting a new CPU cooler. I currently am using a Hyper 212 EVO and this does not work in most cases (Its really tall). What CPU coolers do you recommend. I am using an i5-4690k (Have not gotten into OCing).

If you guys were wondering I have an Asus Maximus VII Hero board (I believe its ATX sized, so I cant really build in a smaller case).

Thanks for all replies!

If you are looking for case thats nice to build in and supports the hyper 212 evo. I recommend the Fractal Design Define C or Mini C.
I currently have the Mini C and I am running a hyper 212 evo on a 4670k OC to 4.2ghz with no problems.
 
Do you need 5 1/4 bays for optical drives and the like?
Do you want to stick with full tower or is mid tower an option?
Are you looking to get in to OCing that cpu or do you just want to cool at stock? Do you want to go air cooling or AIO?
Whats your budget?
