a case that got realy popular the last few months is the CoolerMaster 690II plus,its slick design and great finish to it(no scratches and realy good material ) and the inside of the case is just fantastic!! lots of space for anything you need with all the grommets for cable managment you need(and even more then that). the air flow is fantastic and you can plug basicly any fan out there and it supports almost every rad so if you ever go liquid cooling your not limited to a small rad.
well you can see from the length of my comment that i realy like this case ,so if you get coolermaster thats defintly the best choice!!
btw about hating asrock because of 1 or 2 faulty motherboards its not that smart , asrock are a great brand and they offer quality components for a decent price, but you can always go for a gigabyte board ...
