will there be good space and air flow?

At minimum, 2 fans as intake in the front and 1 fan in the back as exhaust. Gotta keep a good supply of clean, fresh air to your components. Tuning fan speeds to balance the flow is about as important as having enough fans.

What do you mean by "good space"? In general, you want less space, less internal volume, and greater airflow. You want to be able to move all the air from inside your case to the outside as fast as possible, all the time. There's nothing wrong with the Carbide Spec series, I just personally don't like how they look. They just look kinda grumpy all the time.

Do you need a case that big when all you have is a big graphics card and small motherboard? The Cooler Master N200, Fractal Design Arc Midi, and Corsair...

Bios is my preferred method. IIRC, with the Asus bios, press f7 to enter advanced settings, find the hardware monitor tab (I think that's what it's called), where you should be able to find settings for all of the fans plugged into the motherboard. From there, you can either assign each fan plug one of three pre-made settings, or go full manual, typing in your desired fan speeds across your desired temperature range. Optimally, you should get each fan to spin fast enough to feel it moving lots of air, but quiet enough that it isn't annoying while you're using your computer. This applies not only to the case fans, but the CPU cooler fans and GPU fans as well. This process is generally referred to as tuning fan curves.
