Max price is £90. I was looking at the R4/R5. I would prefer to stay below £60, but anything up to £90 is fine. It needs to be compatible with my build:

Either the Fractal Design Define R4 or R5 would be a good choice for your system.

If you are really planning on SLI GTX 970s in the near future then why are you getting a 550W PSU that will need replaced when you add the second GPU? You might as well just pick up a high quality 750W PSU now.

I already have the PSU, was planning to upgrade when buying the 970s. Thanks for the recommendation though, I've built in the R4 before but was planning to use a slightly more aggressive case. (looks wise)

I wouldn't say the Air 540 has worse airflow. It actually comes with three 140mm fans (2 intake, 1 exhaust) while the R5 comes with two 140mm fans (1 intake, 1 exhaust). Of course more fans can be added to the R5. Either case would be a great choice. Make a decision and run with it! I don't think you'll be disappointed with either case.
