Which case do I choose?

[James296]

I'm almost finished with my 2011 Dream build with the last thing being Deciding on a case.

So here is the two choices

this one:

Corsair Obsidian Series 650D

and this one:

COOLER MASTER Storm Enforcer

the only reason why I'm asking is because I can not decided between the two.


And just to give you an idea, here's the list of parts I've selected. However if BD turns out to be terrible in performance. the only parts that will change are the Mobo, ram, and cpu, with direction being SB-E.

CPU: 8 core BD

Mobo:
Choice A.GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3
Choice B.ASUS Maximus IV Extreme-Z LGA 1155

Ram:G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900)

Video card:MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr II OC

Hard Drive:HITACHI Deskstar 7K3000 1.5TB

SSD:Crucial RealSSD C300 64gb

PSU:CM 1000w

Aftermarket cooler:CM hyper 212+

OS: Windows 7 Home

P.S. total budget being $2,000. this will not include the monitor, keyboard, speakers, & mouse and will be included in a separate budget

Edit: reworded, added words and changed a few thing to make it more clear.
