Default Antec P180 or CM 690
Which case should I get for my new build?

all the parts i'm planning to use are listed below...

p180 is $70 on Frys right now
CM 690 is $57 on Provantage right now

so CM 690 is slightly cheaper.

I would go with the antec. It does a better job at cable management and is also a lot quieter compared to the CM690. In the end its your choice as the CM690 has better airflow and you can add way more fans then the antec but then you are getting a much louder pc if you plan on using all of the optional fan mounts.
