So i am Desperate for a new case since my nzxt h2 case have a very bad airflow and have almost 0 options for watercooling.

 

i've been looking at 2 cases so far, Master case pro 5 and the corsair 540 and i dont know what i should choose. so confusing.

 

If you have any suggestions for another case with GOOD airflow and possible water cooling my cpu with a dual 120 or 140 rad

the reason why airflow is very importent is because i run 970 in sli. 

 

and a good build quality.

 

Budget wise there is no limit, as long as it's woth it.

 

Thanks alot!!.

 

i have an ATX motherboard btw

id prefer the air 540 from corsair, dual compartment is just great for airflow. but its massive because of its cube design.

Size is not important it's how you use it. lol couldn't resist

Air 540 to the max! Great airflow and so easy to make a nice build in :)

Not to mention it's super versatile and will fit so many kinds of hardware; definitely one of my favorite purchases of all time :D
