After some evaluating I eventually chose the Fractal Design 3k, because of the simple fact that it is easier for me to get my hands on and I didn't see that many differences with the corsair carbide 300r.

So I will be building it today and upload a picture when im done! Thanx for all the help ob this build!

Yha Fractal are out of Europe, and are very quality cases.

Jumping into my build I discovered that my gpu blocks my sata 1 and 2 connecters.

Is it a problen to connect my sata cables to the other ports (only have one hdd and 1 optical drive) or should i get angled connecters?

An other problem i had was to connect my gpu to my psu, I used the 6pin cables that lead directly into the psu but they didn't seem to fiy completely. I attached pictures of the pins and their fit

If the clips on the other side are clipped then you should be good. My 5850 doesn't insert all the way either.

You can move your SATA cables.

The problem is that the clips just barely dont clip in so the cables arent secure.

 

[PP Mguire]

Then you'll need to give it some pressure until one clip is behind the other.

Even if I apply presssure the cable won't go past this point :$

 

[PP Mguire]

It'll go. You just have to wiggle it a bit and apply a good amount of pressure.
