hello there,

This is what my build will be.

I7 4790K OC to 4.7GHZ
Asus Hero VII
GTX 980 SLI EVGA SUPER OVERCLOCKED
H100i Cooler
PSU Corsair 850w
Seagate 2GB Hardrive
Samsung EVO 850 500GB
16 GB Hyper X Beast 2133 MHZ RAM
Which one do you recommend for this build? I like them both however I do think the 750D is a rather large case in which i do not like. I think the H440 looks nicer and is more compact.

What do you guys think for these components?

Thank you

Lewis

which corsair PSU? low end corsair PSU's are considered bad. i would suggest EVGA G2 instead
also if you like the looks of the 750D there is a smaller equvivalent of it (450D) which is aprox. the same size as the H440, both are great cases though.

im dont have very much experince in 1440p gaming but i would suggest a dual GPU setup 2x 970 should do the job. also CS series is not a good PSU if you want corsair you will want HXi, AX or AXi. i still stand by my suggestion of the EVGA G2, if you need something a bit cheaper look at this list(tier 1 or 2)

Thank you for that, I am from the UK but i can alter that.

Do you think i will be ok with a Mid tower rather than a full tower for that build? and will i need not to overclock?

Thank you

sry didn't know (from DK so i know the feeling). that case has pretty good airflow, and with that AIO loop you should be able to overclock your CPU, i dont know about your graphics card's but with the correct cooling solutions and a few aftermarket fans you there should be no problem there either ;)
