I need some case suggestions. I don't think I can fit a 540 air in my room and am considering the 500r instead. Anyone have other suggestions?

@PredatorRules: Yeah I was referring to the motherboard :), I don't think I want to spend more than the £90 for a motherboard so I will buy the z87-a. Should the pre-fitted side fan be removed or just leave it? Thanks for the help, it's much appreciated.

Guys can you help answer, possibly my final question, would you recommend the z87-a or z87-k?

"

Also I've decided on the H100i for water cooling and wanted your opinions on what fans to get for the other available slots? The available fan mounts and currently installed fans are as follows:

  • Six 120mm/140mm fan mounts
  • Four 120mm fan mounts
  • Includes a 200mm side panel fan, two front-mounted 120mm fans, and one rear 120mm fan

Additionally deciding on the intake/outake setup of the fans, I was thinking:

front: intake

side: intake

top: exhaust

back: exhaust

Does this sound right?

"

What you think about the above?

I think I'll go 500r because of better airflow and cable management but your opinions are still welcome!

Thanks again for your feedback!

What would you suggest between the Corsair Vengeance @ £86.90 or Corsair Carbide 500R @ £94.16? Both look fantastic so I need your help!
