Which case is better?

[MrLeeby]

Looking for a new case to optimise airflow and cable management in order to achieve lower temperatures, which one of these cases are better?

https://www.nzxt.com/products/s340-white

or

The second one is a bit cheaper, so I consider that as a little advantage aswell

I'm a fan of the NZXT case. it separates the PSU from the rest of the system.
the corsair looks flimsy/cheap/plasticy. the black corsair is by far the better looking of the three corsairs.

From a cooling point of view, each is about the same.
Both can have two 140mm front intakes which is sufficient for a high end gaming system.
One difference is that the nzxt supports 161mm air coolers and the corsair supports only 150mm.
The best cooler for 150mm is perhaps the cryorig H7.
For 161, noctua has several options:

The corsair begs for liquid cooling which is not usually the best option.
My canned rant on liquid cooling:
------------------------start of rant-------------------
You buy a liquid cooler to be able to extract an extra multiplier or two out of your OC.
How much do you really need?
I do not much like all in one liquid coolers when a good air cooler like a Noctua or phanteks can do the job just as well.
A liquid cooler will be expensive, noisy, less reliable, and will not cool any better
in a well ventilated case.
Liquid cooling is really air cooling, it just puts the heat exchange in a different place.
The orientation of the radiator will cause a problem.
If you orient it to take in cool air from the outside, you will cool the cpu better, but the hot air then circulates inside the case heating up the graphics card and motherboard.
If you orient it to exhaust(which I think is better) , then your cpu cooling will be less effective because it uses pre heated case air.
And... I have read too many tales of woe when a liquid cooler leaks.
google "H100 leak"
I would support an AIO cooler only in a space restricted case.

Your pc will be quieter, more reliable, and will be cooled equally well with a decent air cooler.

Unfortunately I already got a watercooler from a friend that doesnt use it anymore, if thats the case I might aswell go with the Corsair case
