Hello guys  :)

 

So, I want to do slight upgrade to my PC, including new case. I'm thinking about Phanteks Enthoo Luxe, but I don't know if it will deliver right amount of air to my GPUs. At the moment I have two MSi R9 280X, will the included 200mm Phanteks fan be enough? From what I saw the front is pretty restrictive. Oh, and also Im not removing one of the HDD cages. Exhaust would be a H100i in Push-Pull (4x SP120 QE connected to fan hub). My CPU is i5-4590 but I will change it to something overclockable.

 

My second option is Corsair 780T with 3x SP120 QE intakes, H80i with SP120 PE PWM (Push) & AF120 QE (Pull) + 2x AF120 QE <- all as exhaust. This option is more expensive but (I think so) it will provide very good cooling. 

 

So, what should I choose? And please, it's one or the other, I have limited budget  ;)

 

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Why a H80i with the 780T? If you go AIO you better get a 240mm radiator one like a H110, H220x or Kraken X60 (the H100i is quite old so it's time to move on to a newer better AIO). 120mm radiator make no sense here.
