Phanteks P400s can be found for a decent price. I do like phanteks products but their steel quality isn't always the best ( a little thin sometimes ) .

The S340 is far more popular but i heard it has a few problems with installing large radiators.

Both cases you've chosen are great and will fit your components.

Ahh the S340 Elite, I received this awesome case a couple of days ago and I would recommend that you go with this one due to it having a tempered side panel, one of the easiest cases to build in due to a lot of space and the company (NZXT) offers some great tutorials and guides on how to build a pc if you are new to it.

 

The Phanteks case also looks very nice and if all of the parts you have listed are compatible with both cases then it's really a choice that only you can make based on which one you like better. One of the only things that would probably change that would be the cooling options that both cases provide you with and I have to say that the cooling in the S340 Elite is very good since it is very spacious giving you access to putting different types of fans in there.

Science Studio did a decent build with the Phanteks P400 that lit up.

A quick youtube search can also show you some s340 rgb builds.

Also, I wanted to add that the NZXT AER Fans and Hue+ would work better in the S340 where it was designed to be used in, you can display the Hue+ on the PSU Shroud where it would look great.

@ErykYT3 hmm how easy is it to mange cabes in the nzxt case since you have experience i would like to know cause i plan to have tempered side panel i want to know if it wont be to difficult

At the back you have these things, i don't really know what they are called but they are like these little tabs that you can open and close and put cables in at the back, I'll just post a link to a video since it would be much easier haha. Bitwit did an entire build in this case which you can check out here: 

And that's all the advice i can really give you, if all the parts fit in both cases then watch some videos of both of them and decide on one. Good Luck!

i kinda dont really care to display the hue+ cause i got got the white and purple one since it was on really good deal 33% off lol but in a mostly black build it would look really out of place since i plan to have the rgbs mostly cycle between blue white and some third random color when i figure which on looks nice

Whatever you think is best, it's your case (will be maybe) feel free to display it as you wish.
