Picking a quiet but cool case (750D vs H630)

Hi everyone, I've been struggling all day to make up my mind regarding a case, and I was hoping for some help.

What I want is a a case that stays quiet during idle/load (with load noise being important), while still maintaining good temps.

I ended up looking at either a NZXT H630 or a Obsidian 750D. I will be running a Kraken X60 closed water cooling system for the CPU, and running a gtx 780ti with stock cooling (although in the future I may attach another X60 to the 780ti with the Kraken G10).

With this in mind, and your knowledge of these cases, which do you think would make the most sense? Thank you!

According to Hardocp the H630 is about 3 dbs quieter, but the 750D performs way better at full load. The GPU on the H630 is 95 degress (full load). Where the 750D is only 79. The cpu temp's is about the same on both cases. And also, a large window is always nice.

Also if you're going sli at some point. I wouldnt get the H630 unless you're going to get some more fans. they get around 100 degress load. (where the 750D is only 80 degress). So if you get H630 I would add more fans. But that would make it louder.

So conclusion. Get the 750D, and ofcource it fits the kraken x60
