I'm building a gaming PC, and I want a case with spectacular airflow.
I will not be overclocking, but I game long hours. here is the build http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/JWZmK8
So far, i've looked at the http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146148&cm_re=NZXT_h440-_-11-146-148-_-Product
and the http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139022&cm_re=corsair_air_540-_-11-139-022-_-Product .
I want it to be a sturdy, easy to build in mid tower, and I plan on adding a few LED fans to make it look nice, and to fill empty fan slots.
Any other cases I should be looking at? under$200CAD. Also, between the NZXT and Corsair case I listed, which do you believe to be the better case? Id also like a dust free system, so maybe consider that when recommending a case. Thanks!
 
The bigger the case, the better the natural airflow. More fans = more air flow.

The i5 and gtx970 won't put that much heat into the case. It should stay cool without much effort. Under $200cad try -

What about the two I listed? Which is the better case? Also, should I be concerned about the lack of exhaust and PSU fan covers on the corsair? I don't want a dusty case haha.
 
get the phanteks enthoo luxe it has built in leds on both sides and the lights have 10 different colors you can also buy additional leds for the case from phanteks for the inside. Also it can hold 11 fans and has a built in 11 fan controller. i have added up cfm when i made a list build for that case it was about 800cfm.

from the cases you above i would go with the nzxt

here is a pic of the case i talked about:

also comes in white. Also to note since you like fans every intake spot that makes sense on this case has filters that are easy to clean
