Hello,

 

I am about to start ordering parts for my first PC but have decided to reconsider my case. I was going to go for the NZXT S340 Red/Black. I am considering the Corsair Spec-Alpha but I'm not sure. As I've said this is my first build. I'd like good airflow and to be relatively easy to build in. My theme is red and black

 

Build: http://pcpartpicker.com/list/2PQ97h

 

Thanks!

the corsair's one has a max height of 156mm and you cpu cooler is 159mm. so it won't fit in the corsair, but it will in the nzxt (161mm cpu cooler clearance)

Any AIO you find that cheap isn't worth buying, might as well buy a low tier air cooler, since a 120/140mm rad just doesn't perform well at all
