And I can't decide on a case I have it narrowed it down to the HAF 922, CM 690II, Corsair 400r/500r, or the NZXT Phantom. I think they are all very nice looking cases which has the best upside to it though?
 
Solution
:lol: The HAF series are great in terms of cooling, I'll give them that :) However, the one thing I dislike about them are the lack of air filters. (I believe the 500R lacked air filters as well so I guess they're tied)

Out of the two cases, I would probably choose the 500R. It has rubber gromits to more effectively hide cables, and well, I just like the looks :lol: You also have the option of removing both drive cages if you wished to have direct airflow over your GPU's, something I'm not sure if the HAF 922 offers.

Long story short, both are great cases :) You can't go wrong with either!

I am fan of NZXT cases because of their sleek designs! But i've heard that cooler master cases have better airflow! Goodluck on choosing! :)

Ya the NZXT Cases look really nice, but at the same time look kind of cheap and finger print magnets.

In that case, go for the 500r! simple and elegant looking. Corsairs are always worth the money anyway. GOODLUCK!
