I am upgrading my computer and just want to make sure I'm not about to waste money on parts that won't be compatible with each other.

Just make sure your case is also Micro ATX or allows Micro ATX motherboards. And also as a preference or advice, make sure the case has a middle back space, where you can hide your cables, the EVGA has sturdy large cables.

I'm not sure if my case allows micro atx motherboards, I'd assume it doesn't. What about these cases?

I updated my post with a second link to a much larger looking case.

Yea the second one clearly has space, tho the cables won't be hidden. If you don't mind that, mostly I don't want them to clutter in front of your gear and make the airflow bad.

I have the NZXT Source 340 which also works with micro ATX

Yeah I'm not great with cable management, I like the bigger case as it seems a bit easier to keep the cables out of the way. Though, I'm curious if the case you have has better capabilities for managing cables and keeping them organized.
