Hi!
So, building a new PC...
Specs will be
I5 4690K with Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
MSI Gtx 970 4GB
8GB G.Skill RipJaw

Now, I am looking for a nice motherboard that could possibly support SLI 970s in the future and a nice Full tower case, not too expensive. :)

As for the case, I haven't really seen any good full cases, but Not really looked too much into them.

I was looking at MSI Z97S SLI Krait Edition but according to scan I can only Preorder it for the 30th of November and I am really looking to complete this build by Tuesday / Wednesday next week.

Budget, max of £100 for the Motherboard
Budget max of £75 for case.
Any suggestions would be awesome, thanks.

ASUS Z97-A is a good motherboard. Slightly over your budget.
