I wouldn't really define one case as the "best". There's quite a few personal factors that go into it when picking a case. I personally like minimalistic designs, not flashy designs (but thats just me.)

A case I (and many other people) love is the Fractal Design Define R4. It's got some good features about it and it sits nicely in your price budget.

Case: Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (Black Pearl) ATX Mid Tower Case ($99.99 @ Newegg)

Corsair Vengeance C70 or Rosewill Thor V2 (if you're willing to pay $9.99 more than $120)

I have not built a pc yet but i've done lots of research on various parts, and for cases i love the look of corsair's obsidian series. They've all got a understated, minimalist( like Thanatognomonic said) design thats very pleasing to my eye.

The Phanteks Enthoo Pro is really the best that you can get for this area.

This case has great features, cable management, cooling, radiator support, a PWM fan hub, the ability to be completely dissembled, a PSU cover, and a great looking design for only $99

If you are looking for a quiet optimized case, check out the Fractal Design Define R4. This case is very popular.

If you want something different with uniqe and great features along wiht the best cooling availible, check out the Corsair Air 540. The dual chamber design allows for great cable management and great cooling.

Maybe you want an NZXT Phantom. This case has great cooling and has great features such as a fan controller.

Phantom 410. Looks good and is bigger than what you'd expect. Feels like it could pass as a full tower

What form factor are you even going for? You've got people tossing out all sorts of cases..help us narrow it down.

Since you mention you like corsair a lot...take a look at their entire series. I particularly like the Obsidian line and have used the 350D/650D myself. 350D is a great matx case and i use it for my current build.

We could be here throwing what case WE like (or what case has the best performance) all day.
If anything, pick a case that you like and stick with it. If the case works AND you like how it looks, then why pick something else?

One Awesome recomendation:
Phanteks Enthoo Pro.
It is one hell of a case, only $99.
Too cheap to be good? Well, you're wrong.

This case is actually a full tower, and is actually cheaper than some cases that I considered buying, like the NZXT Phantom and Fractal Refine R4.
It has all of the features from a case around $200, like Phantek's Primo without keeping the price high. It has great watercooling capabilities, as well as air cooling, with included 200mm fan and 140mm too.

Dust filters are all included, and to make things more fancy, there is a PSU bracket to cover your cables to have an elegant, hassle-free looking case. And on the back, are already pre-installed velcro ties to put your cable around, for easy rerouting of cables.

And I totally recommend you to follow SR-17 and MagicalWallaby's advice and take the Enthoo Pro.
