I'm after a mid sized atx case. It will be for a ryzen 3700 sort of build, with a large air cpu cooler - ideally 140mm fan but might be 120mm if 140 needs a giant case! I'd like high quality materials and finish rather than a flashy case! I don't need any 5.25" or 3.5" bays. I'll be putting my own noctua fans in. I prefer white cases. I don't mind about glass, windows or no window as long as it is high quality feeling.

As an alternative can you recommend a matx case for the same budget considering I don't need any drive bays.

Just remember that any window or transparent side means you need to pay lot more attention to cable management.
Unless you hide case out of sight.
And then there's the "stylish" brown colour of Noctuas...

154,5mm high Scythe Mugen 5 would be step behind the best coolers at very good price.

That would fit to even that Lian Li PC-O11

That corsair looks quite good! The LL's aren't doing it for me (and one is too wide).

What are your thoughts on these three:

LL Alpha 330W

Silverstone Primera SST PM02W

Corsair 275R

I like those because of how they look and fan placements and PSU shroud etc. But are Fractal Design pretty good if they've come up twice in your list?

I've got a fractal design define type c. Which is very similar to the R6 but smaller and less features and based around thr same chassis as the meshify but with a closed front. In general the build quality is excellent and feels very robust, the front panel is plastic though (but hardly noticeable). I would happily recommend fractal for the looks and quality. The O11 Dynamic was my second choice.

Take a look at Gamers Nexus case reviews on both YouTube and their site. They go into a lot of detail and have a large selection of reviews.
