Looking for the best mid atx and clc possible for ~$200

Im looking to upgrade from my cm storm scout case and arctic freezer 13 cpu cooler. What would be a good choice for a sleek case that has decent cable management capabilities and the ability to house a larger clc. Also any recommendation on a good clc for an fx 8350 would be appreciated.

Get a Nanoxia Deep Silence 2 or Fractal Design Define R4 and a high-end air cooler like the Phanteks PH-TC14PE or Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E Extreme.

One of the reasons Im leaning towards liquid is for the looks. Would the performance difference be enough to change my mind?

The looks in a closed case ?

Its cheaper and quiter and only a bit hotter.
