Hi,

I have a gaming PC with a Coolermaster HAF 922 case and I want to change it. I was thinking about the new H440 from NZXT. I heard good reviews from it.

It comes with 3x 120mm fans in front and 1x 140mm in the back. I heard the stock fans are not really good.

But what if I change the front fans for 3x SP120 from Corsair and the back fan for a AF140 from Corsair ? Would it makes the case have better airflow than the HAF 922 ?

Answer me please !
 
There is no way i would tell you to pay $120 (avg) for the NZXT to then pay some more for 3 more fans. Check the R2 XL by Fractal Design.

I own one myself and the fans it comes with are awesome. Running a pretty cool build and is less costlier (could find it down to $85 at some places) than the NZXT.

Also what kind of hardware you have you currently could?

Best build
 
Why buy a full tower case when I have only one GPU ? Plus, this case got less airflow than my HAF 922
