I'm looking for recommendations on a good case for the following setup and I get kind of confused when it comes to how much space is left when a case spec says supports up to 410mm video cards for example.
Setup currently: Gigabyte 990fx Gaming mb, FX 8350 cpu, Corsair Vengeance 1600 4x4GB DD3, Corsair CX750M psu, 2x SSD, 1x 3.5"HDD, and finally XFX R9 290 DD edition (295mm)
This is my first custom liquid loop and I want to do it as a practical and fun project and the case is the last piece of the puzzle. My liquid cooling gear is an xspc raystorm pro block for cpu, heatkiller gpu-x3 black edition r9 290 gpu block, xspc D5 Photon 170 Reservoir/Pump Combo V2(~80-89mm), an xspc rx360 rad(56mm), and 3 xspc 1650rpm 120mm fans.
I provide the measurements for the video card, res/pump, and radiator because I would like to mount the radiator on the front as intake but i'm not opposed to top mount if there is enough clearance to motherboard. This is where I get confused.. how do you figure out how much room you have left between the end of the video card to where you mount the fans/radiator so I can know if the pump will fit there?
I've looked at these cases so far:

and Phanteks Enthoo Pro and Primo
I'm partial to the TT Core x71 or the view 71... The only one I don't really like is the enthoo pro because of the hdd support beam that runs across the first 1/4 of the case blocking view inside.
Any help on understanding what kind of clearance is left after max video card support length or a suggestion of case that can fit about 465mm worth of gear length wise is appreciated.
