I was originally going to buy the Phanteks XT M3 in white for my next pc build and asked a few questions on here and was reassured that buying it would be a good choice, plus I absolutely adore the whole design of the case, even if the materials aren't exactly premium quality.

But now I'm not exactly sure if I should buy it after seeing how big it actually is compared to the somewhat more expensive cases such as the Lian Li A3 and the Deepcool CH260, as well as people saying online about how it's just an ATX case with the top shaved down.

What exactly is the right choice here? Do I go with one of the smaller options? What about decoration? I'm genuinely confused now and any opinion would help.

Hi fellow MFF lovers, I'll try and keep this one short.

I recently found out that my motherboard, a B560M PRO-VDH, is a Micro-ATX board when installing my new NVMe storage, and found that my current PSU, a Cooler Master MWE 750 Bronze V2 230V, is able to fit a few of the mATX cases that I have been looking at buying for my new build.

Now I am contemplating moving my current build into a new case for the time being before upgrading the rest of my parts. Is this a good idea, or would I be wasting money and time? The cases I am looking at are rather budget (Around $100NZD/$60-ish USD), such as the Phanteks XT M3/V3, the Deepcool CH260 and 270, the Jonsbo Z20, and the Lian Li DAN-A3.

EDIT: I should probably say, I have already spent $100NZD upgrading my storage for my Nintendo Switch, plus another $90NZD for Tomodachi Life. If I get a new PC Case, I'll have spent around $300NZD in the past month, so I am rather hesitant on buying one.
