I've done plenty of research on the phantom 820, I think very highly of it's airflow. it has 200mm front fan, a mounting position for up to a 280mm bottom rad (2x140) and up to a 360mm top rad (3x120mm) if watercooling's your thing. If not you can just place fans there (you could place a 200mm fan on top for quieter cooling), there's also a mounting spot for a 120-140mm fan on the hard drive bay (a great feature, you could point it at your graphics cards) and you could mount a 200mm fan on the side if you want (not too aesthetically pleasing). If it tends to get hot I'd recommend you get it in white. I think it's phenomenal.

I have the Corsair 780T and highly recommend it. Has great watercooling support. I fit 2 360mm radiator (60mm thick)

I have the Air 540 and it's amazing, great cable management so it won't sacrifice looks and the

PSU is in a different compartment than the rest of the components. As the name says, it's made for great

airflow and is more than likely to support your x2 980s as it can support 4  :D

CPU: Intel i7-4790K @ 4.7GHz --- RAM: Lenovo 1600MHz 16GB --- MOBO: Gigabyte Z97-G7 --- GPU: EVGA GTX 970 FTW ACX 2.0+--- PSU: Corsair CX600 --- Case: Corsair Air 540 --- Cooler: NZXT Kraken X61 --- OS: Windows 8.1 --- Monitor: 24" AOC G2460P + Dell 19" --- Mouse: Logitech MX Perfromance --- Keyboard: Corsair K70 (Cherry MX Brown) --- Audio: Sennheiser HD558


Don't buy a GTX 980, it's overpriced! Buy 2 GTX 970s or 2 R9 290s intstead (the R9 290s would even be cheaper)
