Returning customer, feedback on this Velox?

Welcome back Setitimer!

OK good solid build component choices on excellent Intel i7-9700K 8 core/8 thread CPU, top end Asus Maximus Z390 mobo, excellent Corsair Dominator RAM, good Corsair Gold efficiency PSU, Corsair AIO 280 mm cooler, both Samsung Drive 1 & 2, and excellent NVidia RTX 2080 Super GPU.   

Velox is a proprietary DS design mid-tower ATX case that mounts the motherboard upside down and puts the door on the right side.   There will be plenty of room in Velox, and as upside down mobo places CPU at the bottom I expect they will need to mount the Corsair AIO 280mm cooler on the front intake air position that is closest to the CPU.   I should mention learning from another recent forum post that one Velox build customer was told by DS Sales that their Velox case shipment is currently held up in US Customs and may delay Velox builds a week or two until that shipment arrives.   You could ask DS if the Velox shipment has arrived yet.   The Lumos case would also be a great roomy mid-tower ATX case choice if time is an issue for you.

As to running at Ultra using VR and 1440P using the RTX 2080 Super GPU... I think you will get great performance...but Ultra game settings will depend on the combination of specific game used, GPU and your displays resolution and refresh rates.   The very best GPU performance available is the top of the line NVidia RTX 2080 Ti for +$573 more, and for folks wanting the very best VR and 4k performance that is the go to video card choice as it has more processor cores and 11 GB VRAM compared with the 8 GB VRAM on the 2080 Super..

Suggestions....

1) Fully Overclock that excellent i7-9700K CPU to a Stage 2 Overclock for just +$99.   Intel designs the K and X Class processors to be fully Overclocked, and the i7-9700K is an easy Overclocking CPU.   Get the rest of the CPU performance you are already paying for...as you have chosen a Stage 2 rated Corsair AIO CPU cooler that can keep things cool.

2) Case Fan Upgrade.   The excellent Corsair LL Series RGB fans +$199 or the top of line Corsair ML Series RGB fans +$219 would be better CFM and Static Pressure performance choices and both have longer (2 yr and 5 yr) manufacturer warranties than the standard DS 1 yr parts coverage.   Both fan upgrades will include one Corsair Lighting Node Pro module.   You would be able to use Corsair iCue software to synch and control RGB colors and performance of all Corsair RGB components such as the AIO cooler, Dominator RGB RAM and any Corsair RGB keyboards or mouse.   The LL fans RGB lights are Dual Light Ring and far more interesting (endless lighting options) than the more simple hub lighted only ML fans. Both are very quiet and efficient case fans.

3) Don't forget the free internal RGB light string.

See what you think....

I have a Lumos and it’s a very cool case.

Yes if you require a top mount rad in Lumos it fits a 240mm, but you should I think consider that in front there’s room for a 280mm or a 360mm rad, and Corsair does make an AIO 360mm H150i....you could ask DS about getting one for the build....they are very flexible.   They can set up your build however you wish.

The number and size fans will be set by the rad fan size.   If you use the 240 mm or 360 mm rad all case and rad fans will be 120mm LL fans... and with the 280 mm all case and rad fans would be 140mm LL fans.    The top can mount two 120 mm or two 140 mm fans...the front can do up to three 120 mm or two 140 mm case fans.   They can do push pull fans on the rads if desired....just ask.

Glad you have the build going sir!    

As noise is your primary concern, I’m kinda surprised you did not upgrade to the best Corsair ML case fans...even in the closed Antec case.    All noise from a pc will be sourced from your case fans and GPU fans...no matter which case you use...
