Looking for a new PC case

So I have had my NZXT H440 for a while now, but it's so big. I want a case that has a red/black color scheme if possible, but I would be willing to buy an all black one. I don't care about noise, I just want the most airflow I can get. My preference would be a M-ATX case but ATX would be fine. Keep in mind that I have 2 Gtx 970's in SLI so I will need one that can support those. Please give me your suggestions!

 

Specs

CURRENT CASE: NZXT H440

MOTHERBOARD: MSI Gaming 5 ATX motherboard

Um why? It's big? It's not like it's a full tower. I'm so confused.

If you want more airflow go with a NZXT Noctis 450. Wait. It's bigger.. I'm stumped.

Well, if you have an ATX motherboard, you're not getting an mATX case for starters.....

I meant MID ATX, which yes most will support full ATX

Yes, I guess I am that picky. I need a smaller case because I tend to move my PC around ALOT. I also need more airflow because I have 2 970's that aren't blower style. I want to get more overclocking headroom in.

 

Some people like different things ya know. Not everyone should like the same thing just because it has good reviews.

You probably aren't getting much more smaller then a H440 without sacrificing a GPU or Airflow. Maybe a inch or two but with SLI and everything it may be quite hard. If you don't get a answer by tommorow ( it's late at night) I can find something. Maybe one of those cube cases?

Yea I was looking at those cube cases and some of them look pretty promising.

For best airflow, Luke or Linus did a review on one very recently. The front is mesh ( for airflow) I don't know if two 970s could fit. Also getting custom cables ( that are shorter) for more airflow may be nice. Personally if you wanted you could sell the 970s and get a 980ti

That is what I'm most likely going to do. I had my original boxes down in my basement and my mom thought they were garbage because they were sitting on a table. That night she happened to have a bonfire. I went downstairs to look for them since I heard the 980ti is coming out so I thought hey I could get at least $500 for both of these, but she said she JUST threw them in the fire. I guess I can still sell them but not in their original boxes. Before I do anything like that, I'm gonna see how the 300 series performs after they get released in a few weeks.
