White Mid Tower Case Recommendation??

I don't know about the P400, but I've built in both the NZXT S340 and the Phanteks Enthoo Luxe.  The NZXT is a nice design, although I personally got a bad unit that needed to be RMA'ed.  My Phanteks was an absolute joy to build in, partly because of the detailed documentation and included parts box, but also because of my stupid fat fingers.  Based on personal experience with the S340 and Phanteks brand experience, I think you'll be happy with either, although I think the Phanteks case will have better included fans and instructions, if that sways you any.  The S340's instructions are on the bare side in comparison, so you may be annoyed if you can't figure out something while building.

May I direct your attention in the direction of the MasterBox 5?

I considered the Master Box 5 but I'm not sure if installing fans in the front would be a pain ._.

Edit: I mean the front panel is like glossy which is a finger print magnet T-T and nvm about the fan installation... It seems easy from a video I saw.

May I ask, which case have better air intake or air flow, NZXT S340 or Phanteks - Eclipse P400?? (Sorry this is a late respond b/c I actually gotten lost in my thoughts xD)

Not sure.  From what I understand the P400 includes 2 fans and the S340 includes three.  The S340 has a large open space at the front (front side intake) with a dust filter that allows for relatively easy cleaning.  The P400 has space for additional fans at the front beyond the single included fan, and its primary intake is a big hole near the bottom of the front panel.
