Should i pick a Corsair Carbide Series 200r Windows Edition or a NZXT Source 210. 

 

I like both of them, they both have side window and a compact design. I will be fitting a R9 290 here. What do you think guys? Thanks!

120 on the back, 2x 120 on the side panel, up to 280 (2x 140) in the roof and probably 2x 120 or 140s in the front, but I'm not sure about the front ones. If you throw some more fans inside than you get with the case you'll have great airflow! :)

The one im picking has a window side. So no side panel fans. I can fit 5 fans in here so yeah great airflow. Thanks!

Both are good. I'd get whichever is cheaper or whichever looks better to you.

Both are good choices but I would go with the Corsair one because it looks more premium than the 210 and Corsair's support is excellent. :)
