Before you pick a case, make sure all of your parts are compatible. An Intel board with a socket LGA1155 will NOT FIT an AMD processor. On Intel's side, their CPU sockets are named by however many pins the CPU socket has. LGA 1155 has 1155 pins for transmitting data. On AMD's side, you have to make sure a the socket on your motherboard and the socket listed in your CPUs specs are the same.
If you want that board, choose an LGA1155 CPU, but make sure it is compatible with your board.
Also, what will you be doing on your new computer?

Personally I'm looking forward the the corsair graphite 760t, beautiful looking case, loads of space for upgrading etc and also for water cooling, so pretty future proof case, due out within the next couple of weeks.

That motherboard has an LGA1155 socket. It won't fit any AMD CPUs.

You might want to get the MSI FM2-A75MA-P33 for your mobo.

Most M-ATX and ATX cases should be able to hold all your parts. You might want to get an ATX case, since they're bigger and have better airflow.
