Go to solution Solved by j.dirona,

540 is best for cooling although the 500R is quite good at cooling too, 500R doesn't have a window but the 450D and 540 do, 500R is better with air than the 450D and both are tall and narrow compared to the box design of the 540.

 

so it looks like corsair is a fan favorite or something

aside from looking cool, what certain advantages do these cases have over each other? considering they are all at about the same price

here's my build:
 

COOLER - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO Turbo Edition (20th Anniversary) CPU Cooler w/2 Fans
CPU - lga1150 Intel Core i5-4690K up to 3.90GHz (Quad Core) 4GB 500GB
MOBO - lga1150 MSI Z97 Gaming 5
RAM - Gskill Ripjaws X 8gb 4gbx2 DDR3 1866 CL9 (F3-14900CL9D-8GBXL)
SSD - Crucial MX100 256gb sata
HDD - Seagate 1TB 7200RPM 64MB, ST1000DM003 (SATA 6 Gb/s)
PSU - Antec VP650P V2 650W Power Supply
GPU - Gigabyte GTX 970 4GB 256bit ddr5 (GV-N970G1 GAMING-4GD)
 
so I just want to see some suggestions on what case would do well with this build? I don't really know what to look for in a case so please help.

hmm I see... thanks for the input! I was hoping for more replies for more cases to choose from, but with this I'll probably go with the 540. It looks different enough and I don't really know what else I'll be needing lol
