Which case to buy

Okay so I am in the market for a new case, I currently own a Cooler Master HAF 912, which has an ugly silver inside and no windowed side panel. This case will be put in my second PC and I will buy a new one for my main rig.

 

I have been watching videos for the past few hours and I am stuck on which to buy. So far I like the Define S, Noctis 450, and S340. My budget is at most $150, but I would really like to spend less money.

 

Here are some features i'm looking for:

 

  • Black with black painted interior
  • Window
  • 300mm graphic card support
  • If it has a secondary color, then I prefer blue
  • ATX compatible

CPU: Intel i5 4690k @ 4.3 GHz       GPU: MSI GTX 980                      Cooling: be quiet! Pure Rock                     OS: Windows 7            Monitor: BenQ XL2411Z

Motherboard: AsRock Z97 PRO4   PSU: Corsair 600W CX600M       Keyboard: Razer BlackWidow Ultimate   SSD: Intel 120GB 520   Headset: HyperX Cloud II

RAM: 12GB Crucial Ballistix            Case: Corsair 750D                       Mouse: Logitech G502                         HDD: Seagate 1TB        Speakers: Audioengine A5+

Well I have the Define S. I can tell you that it's a very nice case with great airflow. Looks sexy as hell too. Not too expensive, at $90 for the Windowed version.

Yeah. I like the case, but i'm not a fan on the front of it. Looks to plain on the front. I'm more of the "gaming" look kinda guy.
