The Corsair Graphite 230t is metal, and is pretty well built. But it's also a tad more expensive than the 210.

It seems to me that the 230t is a good middle ground between the cheap and often lacking cases, and the top tier cases like the define r5 and h440 (for example)

When in doubt: C4

Honestly the bare minimum I would go on a case is a Fractal Design R4 which is about $90-120. You run into a lot of dumb problems with cheaper cases (poor cooling options, no dust filters, poor cable management options, etc). I would suggest increasing your budget to get something that will keep you happy for awhile. Personally I have a Silverstone FT02 which is a solid case, but I have built plenty of systems with the Define R4 and it is probably the best for the money.

I've been looking at the NZXT Source 210 Elite. I need my case to have front panel USB 3.0, and preferably be made out of metal. Any Suggestions?

Definitely take a look at the new Corsair 100R. http://www.corsair.com/en-ca/carbide-series-100r-silent-edition-mid-tower-case
