Asus board best for SLI

Im planning to get an ATX board, ive decided to go with a Corsair 450D case.

Like with the Maximus V Extreme here http://www.corsair.com/en/~/media/21E091137AB94B5DAF52A69FE273B0A4.ashx?w=750

You can mount the cards with 2 slots between them therefore in my mind better for air flow to each of the cards. Just wondering if there is other boards that have the same spacing but cheaper. Ideally under £200 and Asus.

Otherwise id go for the Z97 Sabretooth.

PC 1 Specs (New) :

Corsair 450D | Intel 4770K | Asus Sabertooth Z97 | 16GB Corsair Vengeance @1600Mhz | Asus STRIX GTX 970 SLI | Samsung 840 EVO 250GB | 2 WD Black 500GB RAID 0 | WD Red 3TB | Corsair AX860 | Corsair H110 | 4 Corsair 140mm LED & 1 120mm Fans

Nope, nothing like that was ever released for Z97.

The Maximus VII extreme never released, but there is a Maximus VI extreme. 

 

EDIT: There is the Z97-WS motherboard.

for your 4770K look at the Z87-A it's cheap and ugly and will give you what you need but the Z97 AR is cheaper and nicer...i'd go with that.
