best case for top mounting X62 Kraken?

[mydogxd]

so i recently built my first ever computer in april. during that time i built my computer off of looks instead of efficiency. so now im stuck with a founders edition 1080. i also bought a i7-7700k that my friend made me change some voltages to in the bios and is now all fucked up. my case (phanteks p400) only allows me to mount my aio (h100iv2) on the front because it wont fit on top or it will hit the mother board (prime z270-a). i was thinking about buying new case and heard multiple reviews that the kraken is the best cooler for the kaby lake 7th gen processors. i need help looking for a good looking and be able to support the x62 as long as it is able to be mounted on top. i need optimal cool air coming through the front aswell for my gpu. price range is about 0-220 on the case.
i was watching some videos and stubled across the "deep cool genome" it seemed like the perfect case for me but i am not sure if it is at all a good case. my questions are : is the aio cooler good enough for the i7-770k? please let me know of some good pc cases fitting my needs thank you!

Best case? I would probably give that to the Dark Base Pro 900, but there are dozens of cases that will easily take a radiator on the top you just need to browse any shop's site to see what you like. Personally, I rather like the Aerocool P7-C1 as it doesn't have the big hideous mesh top.

Yes, the x62 is a very good cooler but is tuned for silence over performance, make sure it is at least on performance mode

Instead of Swapping out the case and aio, try replacing the stock fans on the radiators.
The new corsair LL 120 fans are good it seems. Check out some reviews for best radiator fans and try that alternative before spending 200 bucks on a case and aio.
Also a good thermal paste like the thermal grizzly kryonaut.

even if that was the case my graphics cards would still be pulling in hot air only since its a blower style fan.

well do you think that case i wanted is anygood? the deep cool genome

No, with maybe slimmer fans, u can still be able to mount it in the top. And u don't really need 4 fans in push pull, 2 fans in push/exhaust is enough.

You can't go wrong with nzxt h440... yes,kraken x62 is great aio,it cools efficiently my i7 7700k at 5,0ghz after delidding and liquid metal instead of TIM.
