I'm biased towards a NZXT H440. With your current setup it would work great!

For cooling, stock fans should be fine for now with your thermal load.

Maybe I'm "insufficiently informed," but since the OP mentioned the HAF 932, I'd pick the HAF for an air-cooled strategy and the NZXT for a water-cooled system.

ADDENDUM: Incidentally -- I saw your "build-log" for the NZXT H440. Very nice! That took a lot of work -- a lot of trouble.
