So I need a new case because I bought an R9 270x and an XFX PRO550w PSU yesterday and I can't close my case anymore

The 3 cases are:

My current computer, besides the PSU and added GPU is this one:

I want to know which case I should get considering that I will later add a new motherboard and add on another R9, an SSD, a new PSU, processor, etc... over a year or two.

Thank you very much!

NZXT Phantom hands down, great case, good for expansion and anything you would need. Hope this helps!

I will but I just have 1 more question out of curiosity :p  The NZXT needs 30w to be powered but I can't seem to find how many my current stock case needs, for the LED and fans...not that it'll change anything I'm just curious.

Thanks for the answers!! :D

Couldn't really find the question in that, but your old case probably takes 30w as well if not less. It's just the power for the fans and front panel connections.

It just seems like the NZXT has way more LED's and fans so I thought it would take more power which it probably does, and I what I meant to ask was how much more :p

I can't imagine that much difference just for LEDs and fans.
