If sound isnt an issue save up for the air 540 im not sure what it is in your currency but the air 540 is $130 it's totally worth the extra money

 

and to be quite frank, even with all of my case fans on their lowest speed with my fan controller I still get insanely good temps.

100 pounds is worth about the same as 130 dollars, right?

According to google it equals to $154 in USD so the air 540 cost less. Air 540 costs 84 pounds.

sometimes, but the shipping and tax means stuff will cost more. An air 540 is usually about £110-120 for example.

I would go for the R5, it looks better and is more WC friendly, so if you ever want to make a custom loop it's a lot easier.

Look into buying the Phanteks Enthoo Pro. I have the same case and have had no problems so far it's good for the price too. Bought it for $155 NZD and Googled how much it would be in in pounds and it's around £89.99.

It's the best full tower for the money. Good airflow and noise levels too

I'm not exactly the biggest fan of its looks, is there anything similar?

How about the corsair air 540. Great airflow, moderate sound. Nice matte fingerprint resistant material. But its a cube case which hides all ur psu cables on the back side, showing only the good sides in the front compartment

Oh I see, thanks but I think I will just go with the pro since I have grown to like it after watching some videos

Air 540 actually looks really nice once you actually have it physically but i can see how some may not.

 

It has great airflow (probably the best) and insane cable management not sure how well it works with rads but it seems decent. It's really easy to build with too.

A really good case around that price point (and it may seem like I'm bias since I own it) but the Phanteks Enthoo Pro is still a great case. Its a mid tower (Although it is quite big in person), huge water cooling support (if needed) multiple optical drive bays (useful for bay reservoirs)

There is the Cooler Master MasterCase (Pro) 5. It's awesome to build in and has great air flow (it is quite big and heavy, though). The Pro 5 costs £110, but the base model costs £90.

Some people aren't fond of its looks, but then, aesthetics are subjective.
