I need a new case and have set a budget of about £150. After lots of research I have narrowed it down to maybe a Haf 932? And setting it up with my psu at the top and extra fans mounted on the bottom, and mounting my H50 as a exhaust push and pull ither on the top or rear then most likely upgrading the big side fan for 4x Scythe Kaze Jyuni 1900RPM. And have room to fit a ati 5870 in plus maybe switching to a full water setup 1 day.

Can anyone else reccomend a more superior case and why?
 
The 932 is a well suited case for watercooling but advice with the h50, have it as an intake, not exhaust because it is always best to have fresh cold air going over a radiator :)
 
I have tested both ways and found it depends what case you have etc. With my current Antec 900 I have 2 extra fans inside the case blowing towards my H50 and more often than not its cooler inside my case than in the room especially with the extra fans blowing towards my push and pull setup. My Q9550 is currently oc to 3.9ghz and with 100% load over 30mins plus I see max core temps of 55c, and even when I overclocked it to 4.2ghz I didnt see more than 65c. So as you can see its working pretty well for me. Temps monitored using HWMonitor and prime to stress cpu with asus probe assuring me that the cores are at 100% load
