Hey all, i recently switched platforms from amd to intel with my cpu. So the old liquid cooling unit wasnt compatible. i just purchased Corsair Hydro Series H110 280 mm because i wanted a good unit that left the back of the case available for my future purchase of SAPPHIRE 100360SR Radeon R9 295x2 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card which is liquid cooled as well. when installing the new corsiar i noticed there wasnt enough room in the top of the case. the motherboard reaches to the top of the case so the mosfet heatsink and memory sticks block the radiator and fans. I would like a mid to full tower that would handle everything i put in it. also if i get a full will i have to use extensions to make some of the connections reach? if so what should i get? Im def trying to avoid any extentions, if i could id like to just switch everything over from one to the other. heres my system info for the hell of it:
Intel® Core™ i7-4790 (turbo 4.4GHz)
8GB (2GBx4) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel Memory
AMD Radeon HD 7970 3GB
650 Watt corsair power supply
1TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD
ASRock Fatal1ty Z97X Killer LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
And here is a pic of my rig:

For the Phanteks?
Here's a good review of the Phanteks,it also shows where are the USB ports.

The right case is a Phanteks Enthoo Primo,which is also a full tower.

You can see that the Pro(left) is fairly "small" for a full tower case.

It will fit everything and anything:
http://www.phanteks.com/enthoo-pro.html
The H110? Easy,it supports up to 420mm rads on the top.
The R9 295x2? Easy,it has 8 PCIe brackets,so it can fit up to 4 cards.Also has room for 472mm long graphics cards.
The EVGA SuperNOVA G2 1000W? Easily.Also has a cover for the PSU so you keep the stealth look,but it might be more difficult to route the cables to the MoBo and other stuff.
