Current NZXT Lexa case or buy a new one?

[Mancolt]

I am running my current setup in an old NZXT Lexa, but the setup is vastly outdated at this point (the case may not be though). I'm going to upgrade to a $600-$700 gaming system so I can run Diablo 3 and some of the other new games at decent frame rates. What I'm struggling with is whether or not to upgrade the case, or save the ~$100 and put it elsewhere (like better graphics card or new monitor).

Is there any reason to get a newer case like the NZXT Phantom or the NZXT Crafted Series Tempest 410? The only thing I can see I'm missing out is access to a USB 3.0 on the front panel...

Just wanted to get some opinions on what you would do if you had the old NZXT Lexa and were upgrading to a ~$600 setup.

I don't see why not keep the case. If it works, then I don't see why you should be buying a new case! Do you use any USB 3.0 devices? If not, then there is no point of Front Panel USB 3.0!
