Requesting Help Picking a Case

I'm building a new PC for the first time and and trying to decide between a Corsair Carbide Series 300R and a CM Storm Enforcer. Will either of these be able to fit all of the following components? Which would be a better fit? I'm very new to this and want to make sure I'm covering everything.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670k
GPU: EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2765-KR GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support w/ EVGA ACX Cooler Video Card
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
Memory: 8GB G.Skill DDR3-1866 RAM Kit (2 x 4GB)
2 Optical Drives
4 3.5" HDD

Would I need to purchase an additional cooling unit since both of these cases already have 2 fans?

Also, when it comes to PSUs, will any fit on either of these cases, or do only certain PSUs fit on certain cases? I'm considering salvaging my 1000W PSU from my Dell Inspiron XPS 710 and wondered if it'd fit or if I need to purchase a new one. Thanks all for the help!

Any mainstream 'ATX' sized PSU will fit, including, probably, your current one. Just understand a 1000W PSU is absurdly overpowered for the components you listed.
