It will but I suggest a NZXT Source 210/Cooler Master Elite 430/431. Those brands are much more reputable and should have better build quality and a much better feature set.

Ok I found a cooler master case here
http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemNumber=N82E16811119227
But quite a few people complained about it bein cramped. So with this graphics card I'm kinda worried will it fit?

It will fit fine. http://www.techreaction.net/2010/06/02/review-cooler-master-elite-430/ Then on your keyboard do CTRL+F and type in clearance. It will have more than enough clearance for your graphics card.

Ok will probably get this one for the price it is + features.
However it doesn't have 3.0 USB but my mobo does. This won't ruin anything will it? I don't fully u d'état and how the USB 3.0 thing works. Is it the plug ins on the back? Srry noob here :/

I'm sorry but I do not understand that part. Anyways about the USB stuff. The case will come with a USB 2.0 plug which you will need to plug into your motherboard. The USB 3.0 header on your motherboard will remain empty because you do not have a USB 3.0 plug to utilize it. It will not affect your motherboard in anyway, in fact with my case and motherboard this is exactly what I did.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, case front panel USB connections will always connect onto the motherboard, not the back I/O.

http://images.anandtech.com/doci/5833/ASUS%20Deluxe%20Top.jpg Right below the 24-pin power connection is the USB 3.0 header where you would normally plug in a USB 3.0 front panel connection. If you zoom in it says USB 3_12. The place where you will plug in USB 2.0 ports are on the bottom near the centre, the blue connections. Labelled USB1214 and USB 1112.

Sorry about that. I'm on my iPod and it has auto correct on.
Anyways.
I've never touched a mobo in my life so I have no idea what the 24 pin adapter thing you mentioned is. Ugh this is why I wanted a prebuilt but its so much cheaper and better to build my own. Well anyway if the 2.0 USB still works that's fine. Ill just make sure to read the instructions to make sure I do everything right.
Really don't wana ruin this build cuz my family won't trust me with parts again if I mess it up.
Thx

It's fine this is all you need to know: Go back to the picture I linked you. Look at the [very] bottom of the motherboard, there will be two blue thingies. http://www.legitreviews.com/images/reviews/1551/usb_connector.jpg This is what a case USB 2.0 plug looks like. All you have to do is plug that into the one of the motherboard blue thingies. Hope this helps.

Let me know what motherboard you are using so I can better help you. It's usually on ASUS's motherboards that the USB plugs are blue, sometimes they are black.

Thx!
