If your not sure which case to get why does it have to be NZXT?

looking for something different and NZXT is so sexy I just can't not get it

I don't think it's worth upgrading you have a decent case already.

Spend that money on games if you have too.

my brother is looking into joining the master race on a low budget and I will give it to him

Fair enough they are some very nice cases i was thinking of getting one but now have decided on the corsair 750d myself but my friend has just got the NZXT 810 which he really like so maybe look at that one but it is a huge case so dont get it if your limited by space

i have the original phantom, dont get it. mine had some BAD problems, like non of the holes were drilled right so i had to redo all of them, paint chipped in some areas (luckily not noticeable) The 200MM fans are more of a hassle than they are worth in my opinion. and the Ports for like USB and headphone are way to tight, like i would have to force my USB drive into it. Also for me, the ports being on the top is a hassle. they are hard to find in the dark and you usually have to stand to find them if the case is going to be on your desk. 

 

I would recommend the source 810 (a little plasticy but its a decent case)

 

Pretty much any corsair case. (750D being my current fav)

 

But ya, cases are one of those things that they dont have to be wonderful but it is wanted for it to be nice. (if that makes sense)

I have had no experience with it. imo it looks like a boring old box with plastic, you could get a better boring old box that is metal.

I have the phantom 530. Its pretty dam awesome. The only thing I would of like about it is if it supported XL-ATX Motherboard. Other then that I like the case a lot. Lots of RAD and fan support.

I have had none of these problems. 

I'd just recommend the original Phantom or Phantom 410 depending on how big the OP likes it.

530 seems to replace the 410 and if I remember correctly it's much bigger as well.
