The reason you don't want a 90 degree on the inlet is because it screws with flow into the pump. This wears the pump down faster and causes it to fail. It's no problem with a reservoir top though.

Honestly, I would 100% stay away from all EK products. Their customer service is notoriously bad and they have been cheaping out on their nickel plated blocks. Koolance makes some great stuff and would be a better choice IMO. As for...

For a case, I would either go with the Switch 810 or the Corsair 700/800d. They both are enormous and can easily house everything you'll need. The cosmos II is a good case as well, but IMO it takes a lot more effort to get everything...
