Hi guys, again, I need a different case because the place I tried to buy a Zalman R5 refunded it because I hadn't spent any money on the website (don't know how that works). I can either buy a case at Argos or PC World. These cases are the only decent cases I can buy:

Corsair 200r
Corsair Air 540
CM Cosmos SE
Corsair C70
Corsair Spec 01

I have a pretyyb budget system now but I have just realised that my Hyper 212 Evo exceeds the CPU height limit of my case. I read numerous sources stating the the Z3 Plus has 165mm of CPU cooler clearence but apparently it has 150mm. Anyway, I'm leaning towards the Air 540 because it can easily be upgraded in the future. When I have a job I can actually get some decent components in there and maybe even install a custom water loop. However, for £20 less, I can get a case that supports a 240mm radiator in the bottom and a 240mm radiator in the top. This is an addition to numerous intake fans. Is it worth saving up to get the Air 540? Or will I be better off getting one of the cheaper cases?
