Want to build a computer with a 3930k - Page 2

Regarding the 650D:
"As far as competing against itself, Corsair's "evolution in reverse" continues. With the existence of the 500R, I have a hard time recommending end users spend up for the Graphite 600T or Obsidian 650D. Those are both fine cases, but honestly I feel like the 500R is simply a better performer. Your mileage may vary and you may find the aesthetics of the other two cases more your speed, but Corsair threatens to obsolete themselves with the 500R."

Another great case choice if you want to save $80 is the Corsair 500R. Very pleased with mine and its currently under $100 if you hunt around.

I went from a 600T to this one and almost bought the 650D but couldn't find any reason it would be better than the 500R.

That COSMOS II is just ridiculously large. I currently own a Fractal Design Arc Midi, which is a lovely case and has a bit more room for your RAD then the Corsair 650D, you may struggle with the 650D if you have quite a thick rad in mind for your cooling.

Planned on doing a h100, will I have issues with that?
