Hi!

 

I'm choosing between those two cases. 

Which would you chose? I won't do water cooling and will be using a single gpu.

 

Thanks

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

And why do you reccommend that over the R4/5?

 

Well I will install around 5-6 fans into the case, I would like that the pc (with 6 fans spinning) won't sound like an airplane taking off but I don't need like an almost 100% quiet case, I'm happy with some standard loudness

i sugest it because it is easy to mod, and the cable managment is easy with the velcro

They are both excellent cases (well the R5 should be have not seen it in person yet obviously).  

 

It really boils down to which one you personally think looks better.  

 

The R5 will be my next case.  I am due to a case upgrade (have an arc midi R2 that I got on release and its time for a change even though that is an excellent case).  

 

Just to make things more difficult for you take a look at the nzxt S340.,  Even though its not the case Im going to swap too that really I think is the case of the year for 2014.  For the price and what you get its such a great buy.

I think the R5 is the winner...not sure yet. 

The S340 is not available in my country but I think it looks even better than the R5 imo. I'm thinking about buying it at amazon.de but I'm not sure about the tax and all the other stuff. I do have the Source 530 available tho. Thoughts about it?

Nah to the Source 530, there are better options.

I say R5 and some quiet fans (ahem, Noctua). It'll still be very quiet and you can control (I believe) 3 fans with the included slider in the R5.
