 I'm in the market for a glass-front PC case to showcase RGB lighting ,supports ATX motherboards and supports 360mm radiator at the top.

 Pre-installed fans aren't a priority, as I'll be using custom ones. I'm considering the Phanteks NV5, and my budget is around $120.

Phanteks NV5 is king, I agree 🙂

Corsair 5000x would be a perfect fit but may be slightly out of budget you could consider looking for cases made my montech or lian li tho.

They often discount the 5000X to $120-140, but the 5000D is a better case. That said, there are better cases. 

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.

Phanteks is where it is at nowadays. The G500a or NV5 is what I would personally suggest
