Help with a case please :)

Hello all, im going to build a new rig soon, and was going to get a 650d, then I though about getting two r9 290's and though I might be a bit limited on airflow, but in the end im leaning towards to 780's acx. Intially I thought of using the 650d case, smaller, looks better (in my opinion), not a water cooler but the option is still there, a bigger mid tower, lots of space, and putting a dvd drive in i wont ruin the look of the sace, while the 750d does have more airflow. Going for a sniper 5, h100i cooler, and two 780 acx, would the 650d have enough airflow?

Arc Midi R2, 750D is want I'd go for.

[Jvagle875]

The 650d should be just fine.

Okay cool, thanks for putting the nail in the coffin. But 750d case is more better I guess.

Arc midi not my style, but why 750d?

It has a lot of airflow as well as rad space.

As mentioned not a water cooler, im gonna stick to air for gpus, and a closed loop for the cpu, too much hassle, too much money for water cooling. But how is the 650d airflow?

It will be all good but I would still lean towards the 750D because it will have better airflow than the 650D.

Fair enough, this might be a stupid thing to ask, but do you think the case would look baren, with out water cooling, using the sniper 5, and 2 780s?

The cooler maybe, if you have the money I'd say go for the H320.

Im not over clocking, just yet, and wouldnt the h320 be massive over kill for just a 4770k. I dont want to cool the gpus, this will be my first from scratch build, and i wanna keep it semi simple.

If you want to keep it simple get a air cooler.

Im open to suggestion on a good silent air cooler, that is not ugly like the noctua ones, and will keep witth he green/black/silver scheme im going for. I dont mind complications, just not a custom loop style one, a bit to much for me.

Thanks, but um why wait a while?

[nsyedhasan]

So it comes back and stock and goes down in price.

So like a month, two months, how long?

I can't really I'd just wait till it's released.

[duncan5200]

Cool well it says 5-10 days, so assume it will be availble soon thanks for the tip, this will be better the the h100i for me.

If you remove the drive bays, or at least remove the upper one and move the lower one to the inner position, the 650D should have sufficient air flow.

Ahh, so many sides to this story. In the end 650d looks better to me, and will fit better in my room. Will do the drive trick thanks, if i go with 650d which i most likely will.
