The 400C is less restrictive and better for airflow so go with that if you don't have any particular preference. The psu shroud will also be useful in hiding cable clutter especially if you don't have a modular psu.

Definitely the 400c. That C23 is HUGE. Lots of wasted space. Dont get it. 

Thermaltake

As Someone with a 400C I'd much rather suggest the S340, I went from the S340 to the 400C and regretted it so much, I found for its price the 400C was not at all a fun case to build in and given the change would change back!

i7-4770 / Z97 / GTX 980 / Corsair 16GB  / H90 / 400C / Antec EDGE / Neutron GTX240 / Intel 240Gb / WD 2TB / BenQ XL24

Obsidian:

MSI GE60 2PE i7-4700HQ / 860M / 12GB / WE 1TB / m.Sata 256gb/Elagto USB HD Capture Card

Razer Deathadder Chroma / Razer Blackwidow TE Chroma / Kingston Cloud2's / Sennheiser 429 / Logitech Z333

In addition to this I would like to recommend going with the S340 Elite. It is about the same price as the S340 but looks much nicer. Had I known about it when I bout my S340 I would have gone with the Elite instead

Is that image a 400C?

No thats the C23. For comparison, here is the 400C. You can really get a good size comparison from the Reference GPU card.

Image result for corsair 400c

if its a pre-built it prob won't bother you as much, as I said I was just let down by it compared to the cheaper S340. Its still a decent case.
