anyone got any case suggestions for me? :D

i also have a 308mm gpu (R9 270x toxic) and a 168mm cpu cooler (Deep Cool Lucifer).

if the cooler gets in the way of a good case. i can sell it and get a different cooler. 

dust proof please. 

TIA :)

Air 540? It has a dual chamber design so it makes hiding the cables and managing the cables very easy.

EDIT: Just realised you said MATX, does it need to be MATX?

For sure somebody who's got a radeon 270X will be able to afford the 540. What's your budget?

Well, James May has a Fiat Panda, that doesn't mean he can't afford a Ferrari F430.

Honestly, it's much better to have a case which simply will be easy to clean, dust will get in anyway.

But the price matters ;)

They're quite different. The Air 540 has better airflow but is quite louder than the H440 and Define R4.

What are you planning to upgrade to?

Where are you shopping/located?

The Air 540 and H440 aren't much better than the Define R4 and wouldn't be as good of a value.

why is that? the 350d is $128, costs more than the r4 but less than h440 and air 540.

Not really sure what's available to you. Is there a shop you can link us to?

Those are ATX non Matx... and the 350D is an obsidian which is corsairs most premium branding... if you your on a budget and also considering ATX sized cases look the the ENTHOO PRO
