Based on the 2 models above, which one should I go for? When I test playing Far Cry 3, My Asus GTX 670 stays around 70c without side intake of my Xigmatek Asgard 382. Is it OK if I don't go for casing with side intake? Just wonder why there's a lot of discussion about 311+ at here? I feel like buying it.

i cant say i like the 311+ from what ive read about it, and with your 670 getting that warm im guessing the side intake would help quite a bit. playing farcry 3 mine usually hits 50-55c but i havent overclocked it. how much are you looking at spending on a case?
