So i've been upgrading my PC for a few years.Through theses upgrades I realized that my PC required other gear to allow these upgrades to come into play.
(EX: GTX 970 GPU ----> Needed to get a 600W battery)

So to not make any more mistakes; I wanted to ask the experts about this situation.

I have a Intel Core i5 4590 CPU on standby because its not compatible with my motherboard. All I know is that the motherboard is outdated. I was looking at motherboards compatible with the Intel Core and found a cheap, new, more up to date motherboard that works.

The MSI H81M-P33 (https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Intel-Micro-Motherboard-H81M-E33/dp/B00F42W70A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1487452511&sr=8-2&keywords=MSI+H81M-P33)

I currently have an iBUYPOWER WA401i tower case (https://www.walmart.com/ip/iBUYPOWER-Source-Gamer-WA401i-Desktop-PC-with-Intel-Skylake-Core-i5-6402P-Quad-Core-Processor-8GB-Memory-120GB-Solid-State-Drive-and-Windows-10-Home/52130991)

I'm no EXPERT in advanced computer upgrading, So I just wanna know if this motherboard will fit my Tower Case. And if i doesn't, is there another motherboard I can buy? Do I need a new Tower Case?

Thanks

It will fit, and your CPU is compatible with that motherboard.

However, the motherboard may, or may not need a BIOS update to support that chip. Chances are it will ship with the BIOS already updated... but there is always that chance that it will not. If it is not, then you will be unable to update the BIOS unless you have a CPU installed in it that is currently compatible. You may want to contact the seller and confirm that the BIOS is already updated.
