Cpu: i7 4790k
Cooler: Cooler master evo212
Motherboard: msi z97 player 5. (https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/Z97-GAMING-5.html#hero-specification) <- link to my mobo.

Any help is appreciated!

looks like a standard atx motherboard

so yes any case that supports an atx board should do

Any mid or full ATX case will be compatible.

There is 3 main sizes of motherboards (ITX, mATX, and ATX).
You can fit a small board into a larger case as the standards still apply, you just cant for obvious reasons put a large board in a case physically smaller than the board.

There are 4 main sizes of cases: ITX, microATX (mATX), mid ATX and full ATX.
Your board will fit in the last 2.

In addition to the previous suggestions, you should be very aware of what GPU you would like to fit in there and what type of cooling you plan to use.

Running into space limitations, like your GPU being too long to fit, hella sucks during assembly.

yes hambown81 has a valid point

if you have an extremely long graphics card--gigabyte G1 for example

or huge air cooler

you need to check the specs of the case

they usually list those clearances
