These 2 case are full size towers.If your like me I like the looks of a full size tower plus there is more air flow in them so you get much better cooling..

 This is my PC: http://www.amazon.com/HP-Envy-700-215xt-Desktop-i7-4770/dp/B00IIC3H7U

I need a case big enough to store all that. (Except the HP case obviously.) But instead of an intel 4600, I replaced it with a MSI GTX 970 (100ME.)

So which case is aesthetic, please. I am currently very interested in the NZXT Phantom 530. So... Any suggestions?

Yes, I was thinking about it as well, it looks very classic and nice. But WHY do you like it so much?

its a very sexy black case its just got this simplistic beauty and great build quality to it. not to mention its meant for slience.

The Motherboard that you plan on using form that HP Case the stand offs are set differently from a normal LGA 1150 board so If you were to buy a case the none of the stand offs will line up for you to screw the board down.

What do I do? Buy a new mobo????

I work on HP business PC and the boards are built specifically for the case but I don't know about HP personal PC's IF I were you I would get the specs of a normal board and measure yours 

 

and if it does not match you will need a new Motherboard
