Fractal Define R5 or NZXT H440 - H110i GTX Push/Pull

[Djxinator]

Afternoon,

 

I'm in the process of purchasing a new case and I want one that will enable push/pull for my H110i GTX and retain excellent cooling for the rest of my components. I will be going for a side windowed case and it has to be white in colour, hence the above choices.

 

I know that push/pull is 100% possible at the front of the R5 thanks to the massive space created by removing the HDD bays (Which I don't need, just two SSD mounts) but I'm not 100% sure about the H440. I'm primarily looking at aesthetics > performance =/= noise > ease of use (in order of importance).

 

I would prefer to mount the H110i to the front of the case in the push/pull config as I don't believe any Mid Tower Case has suitable clearance at the top for that kind of thickness.

 

If you guys have any experience or suggestions, as well as alternative options, please let me know.

 

[EDIT] Rest of specs are in my signature.

 

Thanks in advance.

I highly recommend Define R5 or Define S, but you should check out NZXT's cases like the Noctis 450

I think the best choice is the Define R5. It has very clean, minimalistic looks, performs extremely well and has sound dampening materials wherever they could put it so it will keep it that much more quiet over other cases. I think you would be extremely happy with your R5 choice.
