Hello everyone I am planning to build my new gaming rig, however I would like to know what would be the best case for my motherboard?

I thought I would come here because you guys know what your talking about. :)

I don't want a really expensive case though, and I would like a medium case with lots of space for a big heatsink and a nvidia 560ti.

Here's the link for the size etc..: http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77 Extreme4-M/

Thanks inadvance. :)
 
That is a nice case :). I was going to ask if you look at the pictures on the mobo there are
usb 3.0 ports at the front is there any case what can use them, or can this one?

Thanks for your help. :)
 
Not to sound stupid but do you mean that the usb 3.0 ports at the front of the board, will be plugged into the case so I can still use all three ports on the board?
 
- 3 x USB 2.0 headers (support 6 USB 2.0 ports)
- 1 x USB 3.0 header (supports 2 USB 3.0 ports)

The case USB ports will connect to the 1 x USB 3.0 header on the mobo. You also have 3xUSB3.0 ports you can use at the rear of the mobo.
 
No, there will be a wire coming from the front panel, which connects to the USB 3.0 header on your motherboard to let you use the front panel USB 3.0.

Okay thank you so these headers come with the case yes? also i mean there are physical ports on the front of the mobo, as well as the back do these headers connect to them, or to some physical pins on the mobo instead?

What im trying to say is will i be able to use the physical ports on the front of the mobo with this case?

The USB 3.0 header at the front of the mobo supports 2xUSB3.0 ports, which will be the 2 ports on the case.
 
Oh so they are not normal ports like on the back then? If they are not I understand. :)

So let get this straight:

The back ports are normal usb ports yes?
The front ports are not normal ones like the back ports, they are however, headers to expand ports available ports on the case, correct?
