what case should i go with I really like them both but for the money which one is better also I plan on just doing air cooling I'm not really into watercooling
 
Solution
The air 540 has a direct airflow path and ease of build and I prefer it due to the H440 having many problems.

You will need to buy a PSU dust filter with the air 540, silver stone makes some magnetic ones.

I've only really heard good things about the 540 while I've heard lot about the H440 having issues with airflow. But I'd probably take it from you as you personally know people who have issues

 
Both cases have good airflow. The problem with an open case is that openness DOES NOT mean cooler. Proper circulation of air means cooler. In a relatively closed case it is easy for a few fans to move air smoothly through the case. But with a very open case, you need more and faster moving fans to move circulate the same amount of air. You have the opportunity to move MORE air, but at the expense of noise.
