Hi, I am looking to get a new case quite soon. This is because I am moving to a smaller room so I don't have much space for my giant desk. My current case is a Corsair Vengance C70 ATX case. I know this is completely overkill for my build which is based around matx. Anyway, the case I'm looking for needs to be fairly small and compact and I want it to have the PSU mounted at the top so it doesn't get as dusty and I won't need to put something underneath the PC to stop it from suffocating.

These are my specs:
Gigabyte 78LMT-USB3 (Matx)
AMD 8350
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
1tb Seagate HDD
Standard Optical drive
RX 460/GTX 1050 (when it comes out, (I haven't decided what to get yet)
Aerocool VP 850 PSU

I have found this case: http://www.ebuyer.com/725442-avp-viper-mini-tower-black-usb-3-0-case-cas-744
Which seems to meet all my requirements.

I don't know if there are many other cases that are better quality and also meet the needs. The only thing I'm not completely sure about this case is the max CPU cooler height as there is no confirmed measurement anywhere on the internet. However, there is a pre-built system on Chillblast which uses this case and a Akasa Nero 3 CPU cooler which is the same height as the Hyper 212 Evo, so it should be fine, right?

Is there any other cases I should consider?

 
Your cpu is a hot one and I wonder if a single front 120mm intake fan will do the job.
Adding a side fan might impact a cooler like the hyper 212.
If you can find them, look for a Silverstone TJ-08E or PS-07.
They have twin 120mm front intake fans that are filtered so your parts will stay clean.
A cube style case can be good.
Here is one.
