Fractal are great for airflow, Try them,
I've got an Aerocool Strike X-GT because of the two fans on the side:)

The Arc Midi R2 has offset mounting for 240mm coolers in its roof, so it will fit an H100(i) with push-pull fans without modding. Look at some of the other cases that have good compatibility with your cooler and see what you like.

I wouldn't suggest the R4 for using a 240 rad in the top. The Arc Midi R2 uses almost exactly the same chassis, but the R4 doesn't have the offset mounting.

Too big, too expensive. Using big cases with hardware that doesn't take up much room looks rookie. Front panel connectors won't be well-hidden, power cables are likely to be too short (namely the EPS cable), and you're paying for features you don't need.
