My system specs are

i7 4770K
ASRock Z87 Pro 3
8GB G.Skill Sniper 1866 x 2 (16GB)
Crucial M500 120GB
2TB Seagate Barracuda 7200
Zotac GTX 780 AMP!
Rosewill Capstone 650M Gold
Thermaltake Water 2.0 Extreme

------------------------------------------

My question is now, which is best, airflow wise. The Fractal Design has 3 140mm fans. But since me cpu cooler is a 240mm, I will shift the top 140 to the front. Meaning, 2 140mm in the front for intake and 1 120mm for exhaust and same goes to the cpu cooler, 2x 120mm fans as exhaust.


or

Corsairs 350D. I honestly like the look much more. Comes with 2 fans, 1 140mm in the front, and 120mm in the rear.
The 140mm is in the middle, and is direct airflow to the Graphics card.

My only problem with the 350d is that the top and rear (exhaust) has no DUST FILTER.

But, do you really need dust filters in exhaust? since the intake already has dust filters.
Will the case still be dust free?



What do you guys think? Or is anyone of them fine?

If you already have the CPU/MB, then you only can get the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2, because the 350D is Micro-ATX format that can't fit the ATX MB like your ASRock Z87 Pro 3.

If you like the 350D you need get the Micro-ATX MB.
