Budget case help!

Hey guys,

 

I am building my first PC soon and I need help with what case to choose. Here are the options:

 

Fractal Design Define S (windowed)

NZXT s340

Phanteks Eclipse P400

And any suggestions you might have

 

I really like the s340 but the glossy front panel puts me off, and the Define S is a few dollars extra but I don't know if its better. Plus the s340 HAS A BLUE CABLE MANAGEMENT DIVIDER which suits my setup and looks very nice. The P400 is something new and looks nice and clean. 

 

Here are the inks:

P400: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/zRvZxr/phanteks-case-phec416pwt

 

My whole setup is a black/blue theme, but adding a white case can make it look a little brighter, so color isn't the main issue (the blue divider in the s340 is sick though). My budget is $75 and I live in the US. Here is the rest of my build if you need it:

Any suggestions or recommendations?

Thanks!

The s340 is my favorite case of all time.  It really is an awesome case, I prefer it to cases I've spent twice as much on. The only thing the s340 truly lacks is more than 240mm rad support.  I moved to the define r5 for the extra rad space and I don't like it nearly as much.
