Trying to decide on a case, some opinions would be great.

Here is my current build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/j2PfCJ I have already ordered the ram, thus the reasoning for not being in the list.

I have been looking at the CM Storm Stryker, NZXT Phantom 820, Corsair 760T, and Corsair
C70 Military Green. I know the C70 is a mid-tower but I've seen videos of it and it seems bigger than a mid.

Any help would be great and if you have a personal preference outside of these I would like to hear that as well.

That's a nice build list. Not sure what your personal taste is, as far as design, window or no window, silent or doesn't matter. (The c70 and phantom 820 are sort of opposite each other in looks). Here are a couple more suggestions.

The be quiet silent base 800 (silent, windowless, adjustable air vents for gpu's) - multiple color accent choices.

For that build (Great Build) and the case budget, you would surely go for something stylish whilst still providing the goods? Well the Thermaltake Level 10 GT Snow Edition looks amazing, it would really complete your build

Phanteks enthoo pro - versatile for air/water cooling, windowed. Might have to check around, comes in black and white (white's out of stock currently at newegg)

The phanteks have other variations if you want something nicer (more expensive) like the enthoo primo which has aluminum panels rather than plastic.

I am into the windows I love being up to look in seeing the parts, sound isn't a huge factor. I like the C70 cause of it's military esque look. I like the others because of the LED capabilities and cooling.

I'm slowly moving through. I'm working on ordering the parts right now and by the time I'm finished getting them all I will have made up my mind hopefully. I really really like the Phantom 820, I'm just afraid it's too big. It weighs like 36 pounds and that could be troublesome since I'm still in college. That's why I like C70 CM stryker cause of the handles.
