New case?

[crammond]

After 6 years I'm getting a new computer, since the old one is not enough for After Effects, Premiere Pro and CAD/CAM software I use on daily basis.

I got everything ordered but the case.

The components are

2600K

Noctua NH-D14

Sabertooth P67

Msi 570GTX

5 x 1TB HDDs (1 for OS, 2x2 in raid 0)

24GB RAM

LC1000 PSU

I'm stuck with the case selection. I will overclock the 2600K as far as it will go with it being stable 24/7 and under load.

I'm choosing between Fractal R3, Fractal ARC, Corsair 600T (black one) and the Raven RV02E.

Which one to choose? Which one has best airflow so that nothing will overheat?

Thanks in advance

p.s.

Please no HAF and other suggestions

R3... all the way

Rv02

Please no HAF

I am glad to hear someone say that, usually it's the most common case people go for.

Anyway, if you want to go for silence i'd get the R3, if it's for looks the RV02 or the 600T and if you want to water cool in the future i'd go with the Arc. Although you can watercool in the RV02 and 600T as well but the Arc is the easiest one out of those to do it in.

Thanks for the input so far.

The silence is not really bothering me THAT much since when I'm on the computer I usually wear headphones. Otherwise there are 2 rooms between my computer and my bedroom.

The most important for me is I think airflow and keeping all components cool enough. If there aren't that many differences, I'll go with the R3 or ARC since they are the cheapest. No watercooling in the future.

Go for Raven RV03

Raven RV02, the only decision I regret making with my newest PC is getting the HAF-X instead of the RV02.

you could also get an ft 02 if you like its looks, but its quite a bit more expensive.

After all the reading I'm going with the RV03.

It seems it has the best air flow for the price

Thanks everyone.
