Proton Proceed advice

[Beaker920]

Hello all,

I'm looking at buying the proton proceed either today or tomorrow, with a gtx 980, no ssd and a 2tb hdd. Regarding the water cooling, is it best to get the black case with the mesh front or can I have a coloured case with the solid front and still have sufficient air flow for the cpu/gpu? This will be my first water-cooled pc, I have no idea what's best.

Thanks

Ian

I was thinking I might ask for the k variant. Not too fussed about overclocking to be fair. Was just concerned about sufficient airflow. I know the mesh front is best for air cooled systems, didn't know about water cooled. It is the reference design gtx 980 I want, which should draw enough air in thru the side panel shouldn't it?

Thanks again

Ian
