As the previous owner of a 550D it's gonna need alot of work to fit a 360mm rad, it's only rad mounting is on the top and back(240/280-120/140). You can't mount a rad in the front and the top has a thick plastic panel that will need a lot of work to look good should you cut it up. The rad mount at the top of the case also isn't offset so it can interfere with some motherboards.

I would, where I am located the 390 and 970 are the same price and since the 390 will perform better I would go with it. Although if there is a considerable price difference then the cheaper one would be the way to go since the 970 is still a good card, just the 390 is a bit better so a better price/performance ratio depending on where you live.

I have some plans in mind on where the 360mm is going.Case will be cut up in sacrifice for watercooling will be adding side window etc.

Kink has been sorted with a couple cable ties.

Need some glass for that freshly cut side window.
