H440 vs R5 /something else?

[Guest]

Since looks are pretty important for me, I'm torn between these two, H440 has clean looks and i would love to show off the ssd I have, but r5 is more flexible and has more options and better cooling (with one more fan to r5 they cost about the same) 

I would be taking either white h440 (fully black one is for some reason expensive and only available in one store (?))

or the black r5 (not the blackout) with window.

 

And maybe some silver/white/black bitfenix extensions at the same time?

 

But do you have other suggestions, also the enthoo evolv atx seems noice but isn't so quiet and cost's quite a bit more (would have to wait more to afford it)

Do you plan on watercooling?

Do you care about sound dampening?

I have the H440 in black and red with NZXT x61 AIO on the top pushing air out the case. 

Beautiful case

I have a H440 too, love it. Still, I would have picked a Phantheks enthoo pro if my retailer had any.

Not going full custom loop in any near future, and yes sound does matter

H440 Master Race. But really, either will work. Which do you think looks better.

A friend of mine just got the H440 and is very happy with it, but both cases would work.

The R5 offers way better watercooling options and comes with sound dampening panels.

The H440 has a better internal setup that's more aesthetically pleasing(PSU Shroud, cable hiding panel, SSD Mounts)

 

If you really want the sound dampening panels go with the R5, but I would recommend the H440 in this situation.
