Corsair Carbide Air 540 vs Corsair Graphite 760T

Hey guys, now as you can see by the title, these are the two cases I am having trouble deciding with and was hoping for some opinions from you guys! :D 
Now the main aspects is that I'm getting a Sapphire Radeon R9 290 Tri-X OC 4GB and they can get fairly hot under full load, so I need good airflow, but the other part is good and relatively easy cable management, I was originally going to buy the Air 540 but Linus's review and that 760T is so god damned SEXY. 

Please some good opinions guys. ^.^

When it comes to form over function, I lean towards form first, then making it function as good as I possibly can. So I would choose the 760T personally.

 

In black. With white LEDs. And an H220x, a Sabertooth motherboard, Corsair Dominator Platinum RAM, Corsair RM PSU.

Air 540 makes everything besides the power supply and some of the cabling much easier to hide however the tinted window panel on the 760T does prevent bright colours to be seen more easily.

I like both but I would get the 760T

Personally I like the 760T more mostly because I really dislike square-shaped cases. In terms of airflow, you're not exactly making sacrifices either. They can both hold two 140 fans in the front, two 140s in the top, one in the back. However, (sorry, I don't recall from the videos) if you can remove one of the 760T's drive cages and mount fans feeding fresh air directly to the card that's a good advantage. The fact that you can hide the power supply behind the motherboard seems to be great help for cable management.

 

If you don't mind the square shape and want to hide your power supply, go for the 540, it's a great case. If you have limited desk space and prefer the case to be taller rather than wider and love that side panel (but then who doesn't?) go with the 760T.
