From the case details you have supplied (Motherboard type: Micro ATX or ATX and maximum video card length of 320mm) you are well within the parameters of having everything fit.
ASRock H97M motherboard is a Micro ATX board.
Gigabyte N730-2GI video card is 185mm in length.

Okay Thankyou I was thinking about getting rid of the disc drive and upgrading my video card for a better setup Ill post the name of it

 

[Infected Sniper]

Okay the new graphics card I picked out is a
Gigabyte 2GB GT740 PCI-E VGA Card

The Gigabyte 2GB GT 740 is a good choice. It will still fit into the case (video card is 186mm in length). Just make sure that your power supply can handle it. From the Gigabyte site, it says that video card requires a 400W power supply. You did not specify what power supply you had (or are going to purchase), so just make sure it has enough "juice" to power the video card and everything else also.

I have a 420 watt power supply that comes installed with the cooler master case

Sounds like you are all set then. For future upgrades, you may end up having to get a larger power supply, but you should not worry about that at this time. Get all of your parts together and enjoy building your PC. Once you get everything all together and running, take a couple pictures and post them here for others to see. Some (if not all) of us like seeing other people's progress and completed builds. Let us know if you run into any issues or problems getting your PC to work.
