I just needed some input from experienced builders. I am building a new rig and trying to purchase an:

EVGA 03G-P3-1599-AR GeForce GTX 590 (Fermi) Classified Hydro Copper 3072MB 768-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

or its 1596 brother.

My question is will the cases listed below cool one of these video cards adequately with fans if I wasn't overclocking it or would I need a cooling system? Which case would be better? Less fans but bigger or more fans but smaller? My Rosewill PSU has two fans in it as well.

The Antec DF-85 Black Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case
Item #: N82E16811129087
with
2 x rear 120mm TwoCool red LED fans
3 x front 120mm red LED fans with speed control knobs
140mm Fans2 x top 140mm TwoCool fans


OR

The Rosewill THOR V2 Gaming ATX Full Tower Computer Case, support up to E-ATX/XL-ATX, come
with
Four Fans-1x Front Red LED 230mm Fan, 1x Top 230mm Fan, 1x Side 230mm Fan, 1x Rear 140mm Fan



Should I drop the money for the
Thermaltake Level 10 GT (VN10001W2N) Black Steel SECC / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case with Four Fans-1x 200mm Colorshift side fan, 1x 200mm Colorshift top fan, 1x 200mm Colorshift front fan and 1x 140mm rear fan
?

your help is very much appreciated!

the silverstone raven series have a very good design, they have flipped the mobo they 90degrees so the graphic cards get the cool air flow directly from the fan below it without anything to block that air also ot allows the air to pass upwards without being blocked by the cpu cooler. so if u are looking for a case with better graphic card and ok to try something unconvetional then the raven series suits u the best.
