Can I ask what you're cooling?

You really don't need dual 480s for that.
A thick 360 and a thin 240 would do that fine in a switch 810 - with plenty of room for overclocking.

LD cooling are not really good in my opinion( who want to unscrew about 25 screws just to open the side panel???), TJ07 and TJ11 can fit 480 and 360, but STH10 is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY WAYYYYYYY better than any of this cases.
Of course you don't need..., but if he use more rads that means that he can run the fans really slooooow, and still have really good temps. I will be using 4x 360mm rads in my next build
But I'm still not sure if I should go for 60mm thick or go nuts and buy 80mm monsta radsBTW to cool 2x 7970 and i5 2500k, and you need both 360 and 240 to be 60mm thick, if you use too thin rads you will have to speed up fans...

If you're looking for silence, then thick rads with a low fin density would be better for you. Thin rads tend to have higher fin densities to account for less space and as such require you to run your fans faster to push the air through.I know, but I am thinking about doing one thin 480, and one thin 360 (thin beacause of noise). I want those rads beacause of future upgrade options
I have also been looking at the NZXT cases, but I dont like the design.
Have a look at this video

It's the review that TTL did of the XSPC D5 RX360 Kit.
I would just suggest you get 1 of these kit's, with what you plan on cooling.
If you add a 2nd graphics card, then you could change it to a dual loop and have the cpu on a single loop using the 360 rad and then add a 2nd loop using a 360 for the graphics cards, or just add the 2nd 360 to the cpu loop.
As for the case, you would probably be best with a Silverstone TJ11 or a Caselabs case.

A thick 360 and a thick 240 would cool what you have and you could run the fans so low youd never hear them.
2x 480's is just silly tbh unless you want to pay through the nose for a caselabs case.
TBH dude Id spend less on rads and more on a better cpu like a 2700K

I thought 2700K was just for editing, and stuff (There are no games using more than 4 Cores?) If that is right wouldn't it just be a waste of money?
And i can't find an Case with the same options, looks and overall first impression as the STH10.
I was thinking on getting two Thin EK 480 Rads, the only Rads we can get in Norway for an Ok price is EK, OEM Magicools, and Coolgate

Yeah, it is pretty much a waste if you aren't rendering.
Maybe go for a 3570k instead for the memory controller and PCIE3, not that it really makes a massive difference. But I can't see why anyone would buy a 2500k new now? I assumed that you'd already purchased the processor.
Yeah, i bought everything new, but kept my old processor (because i would have lost too much money on that one)
So now i have a 2500K on a Z77 Deluxe wit a NH-D14 and a 7970 (Going to buy antoher and a 2560x1440 screen, probably the Asus one, and it is being powered by a AX 850, and has 16GB Corsair LP ram)
