For 5K budget, Corsair 400R @4.6K is the best choice.

Problem with the choices of yours:
1. Lexa S: Good looking funky chassis. Best being avoided.
2. Guardian 921 RB: Problem same as above.
3. No USB3 at the front panel.

The shinobi also comes in black. So you can check that.
The 300r is a nice cabby but according to some reviews it has flimsy side panels, but i am not sure. You can ask some 300r owners around.

Another option is

Only at flipkart who are openly ripping its customers off. Go down to local market.
