Need help deciding on cooler and a case.

Hi, I need help deciding which case and which cooler I'm going to get. I'm looking for the case with the absolute best cooling available, I don't care about noise. Also, I'm looking for the cooler with the absolute best performance out there, but I'm not willing to go custom loop, just because of budget constraints. (A decent entry-level custom loop runs about $300-450).

I'm willing to spend up to $170 for the case, and up to $150 for the cooler.

I'm willing to do easy modding, (like switching the fans on an H100). I don't want to do things like modding an H100 to fit in an Antec 1200 (using zip ties)

Thanks

you will need to hose manage no matter what you do. thats just the way things are. so using zip ties on an h100 in an antec 1200 is actually pretty damn normal..

anyway for a case get a CM HAF X

Alrighty, that takes care of the case. Any suggestions for a cooler. I'm looking for the BEST temperatures possible, without resorting to custom loop. (Unless I can get a custom loop that beats the H100 for the same price)

Why would you need to use zip ties?

I've heard of the H100 not being able to go into the Antec 1200, so people used zip ties.

What CPU and GPU will you be using? My personal favourite for case is currently the Switch 810.C_Rule

I'll be using the 3570K, and a GTX 670 (plan to SLI).
