There's my best solution. 144hz monitor will be able to take care of the huge horsepower on the gtx 980, you can overclock if you want to.
edit: look at this dummy who forgot a case.

http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/95-phantom-410-mid-tower-case NZXT makes cool as hell towers that perform well and some come in red
The coolermaster should fit within most towers, it's not particularly massive. (it should actually fit in that zalman, pcpartpicker just is not 100% sure on dimensions i think)

Haha but it tells me this ! "The NZXT Phantom 410 (Red) ATX Mid Tower Case supports video cards up to 305mm long, but video cards over 230mm may block drive bays. Since the Asus GeForce GTX 980 4GB Video Card is 268mm long, some drive bays may not be usable."

Corsair 200R, 300R ,330R .... are ideal for long cards
