First case to build in

Hi, I'm going to build my own PC and I've seen many cases that I like but I've come to a conclusion that I'm going to choose between the Corsair air 540 or the 750D. It is my first build so the air 540 gives me a lot of room and good cable management (if I'm correct). I like both of the looks and they seem pretty good right? What do you think where I should build my first PC in?

Let me know! =)

Asus Gtx 770 I Asus Z97-A I Intel i5 4690 I Corsair CX750M I Corsair 300R I 840 EVO 250 GB I WD Blue 1 TB I Razer Deathadder I CM Storm Quickfire TK I Dell Ultrasharp U2414H.

I own a 750D and absolutely adore it. My build can be found >here< and I can say honestly that there is more than enough room to build in with this case. Cable management is also really easy and good looking with just a few well placed zip-ties.

Man, nice build! I'd probably going to get the 750d since it's only 125 euro's here! 

Thanks. You've build before?

I had one build prior in the 400r and then decided to splurge on the case for this build. I'm glad you like the build!

Yeah my PC is build by my friend in the corsair 300r, I hate the looks of this case and it was cheap as hell (60 euro's) xD

Get the air 540, you can't find much else with better cable management, the only thing I can think of that would compare (and this is just from reading and watching reviews) would be the HAF XB EVO. The air 540 just makes everything so easy, and it looks nice.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

Phanteks Enthoo Pro and Phanteks Enthoo Luxe.  No other case is even worth considering at their respected price points.
