You don't choose a mobo for the case, you buy the mobo and the components (CPU, RAM, HDD, PSU) and choose your case.

Now, if it's your second post about this, that's means that in your 1st post the question don't was solved. Your post is really hard to read, is better if you post the link of the case.
