Which case do you think I should get?

My current PC case (BitFenix merc alpha) Is really loud, doesn't look great and overall it's just a budget case, which is why I got it at the time because I couldn't afford to get a better one.
I want a case that is quite, overall good quality and looks nice for under £70. I've been looking at the corsair 300/400r and was also thinking of a NZXT phantom 240 but found out my cooler wouldn't fit. Are there any cases anyone would advise I look into? :)

This is not true, I have an phantom 410, and i use the same heatsink and it fits. Also the 410 is just an upgraded version of the 240, and yes they are both mid size cases.

Are you sure? On the NZXT website the compatibility filter said it is not compatible and I saw a forum post where a guy said the heatsink was a few mm too big. Thanks for your advice.
Also, how do you find the 410?

Here is the link . Also the heatsink is a tight fit, but I leave the side pannel off during the summer for better airflow and I don't mind the noise.

I want a balance between temps and noise. The cooler master silencio is also a silent case, so do you think it'll affect temps a lot too?
