Hey everyone!

So, im planning on a system upgrade but im not sure on which case to get yet...

I was considering the h440 the define r5 and the define s.

Which case would be better for me?

I need:

-good airflow and radiator support for future water cooling

-2ssd and one 3.5" hdd mount (at least)

-support for quite long gpu(s) (gigabyte 980ti for example

-preferably good cable managment options

Of you have another case to follow my white and Black color sceme, please let me know ;-) anything under 170 dollars is ok ;-)

Thanks in advance!

Oh that sucks, well the H440 has really low airflow, look at the noctis 450 it has the interior of the H440 but with a lot more air flow
