Quite the eclectic mix of options here! OP, honestly, choose the one you like the most aesthetically. You can trust this case's usability through its review.

Do you even have experience building in both the Ostrog GT and the S340? Or are you just swearing by the S340 because "its brand is better established"

Build and seen multiple builds in the S340 and wanted my own personal build in the H440 just couldent afford it, seen multiple reviews and only heard good things from friends.

 

I dont just randomly suggest things i don't know about.

I comment for a reason.

Yeah, I trust you on that, the S340 is pretty commonplace. But it doesn't win out in roominess or cooling efficiency compared to this Enermax box. The one sin of the Ostrog GT is a bit small of a hole to route the CPU 8-pin cable through, otherwise it's a really good case. The two blue LED fans on top are gravy.

An H440 and an EVGA GS/G2 should do you nicely. The S340 is very bad for Crossfire/SLI due to the SSDs being sat right underneath the hot GPUs which kills NAND cells in the SSD.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
