corsair air 240 vs corsair 250d

[Daniyelfps]

As the title says, which case is better, interms of performance and cooling. The parts i got is: gtx 690, i5-4690k, asrock z97e-itx mobo, 2x4 corsair dominator ram, coolermaster v850w, h100i.

I have the Bigger version of the Air (540) and cooling is phenomenal. My rig stays between 35-50 under heavy load. Thats with stock fans and a Evo212 as my CPU Cooler. So I would suggest the Air240

Thank u for ur answer, i might get the 240 then. But where should i plaace the h100i, and how many fans and how should i setup the cooling system. And as u know the gtx 690 heats up alot so...

I would place the h100i on top if it can. I think the top of the 240 actually has a spot for a radiator on the top. I would keep the front two fans, the back fan and just the cpu cooler. I really think you will be fine with that especially if you are water cooling.

ok, but only 1 fan in the back, and 2 fans on the radiator on top, but which side should the fans on the radiator be placed. Sorry but im a bit noob this is my second time building my own pc, but which directions should the fans be blowwing?

Not quite sure with the radiator as I do not own one, but the front fans should be sucking air in and the back one pulling air out. I would assume the side fans also suck air out as well.
