That Zalman and Antec case fall into the same "cheap quality" like the Bitfenix Merc in my opinion at least.

If you don't mind rebates (and bright blue): MSI Interceptor Series Ravager ATX Mid Tower Case 3X5.25 6X3.5INT 2X120MM USB3.0 *No PS*

Or: Cooler Master HAF 912 Black Mid Tower ATX Case 4X5.25 1X3.5 6X3.5INT No PS Front USB Sound

Or: Corsair Carbide Series 200R Black Gaming Case ATX 3X5.25 4X3.5 Front USB3.0 Audio No PSU - DirectCanada

Either sets of RAM would be fine. And the motherboard will come with SATA cables. Nothing you need to buy extra.
