Sorry for a baseless post. I was searching afor a good review. Well, Corsair 300R comes at a similar price and has more fan slots and front USB 3.0 ports. Cable management is excellent in both cabonets. Take a look at 300R.

motherboards are good, but I have no idea about AsRock's reputation, reliability an after sale service in India. Let other members comment on it.

For Eyefinity setup i will 7950 cf then which will be better x16 or x8??

X16 for obvious reasons. X8 x8 bottlenecks the card.

X16 for obvious reasons. X8 x8 bottlenecks the card.

there won't be any bottleneck .. at best ~5% performance difference
