I'm in dire need of a new case right now and since im getting a new CPU and PSU , i think it is time i should get a new case. My current case is a cooler master(not sure what model) with only a 120mm and a 80mm fan on the back. I dont think that is enough and my computer(Core temp) idels around 48~50C.

Specs :
OS: Windows Vista 32-bit Ultimate
CPU: AMD Phenom X4 960t
MB: MSI - MS-7309 --- MSI K9N6PGM2-V2 AM3/AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
Ram: 3070MB
GPU: Radoen HD 6770
PSU: CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 V2 600W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS

I'm wondering if this case : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156241
would be compatible with my rig.

I was also looking at this aswell : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147060
but seemed kinda high for me. I might wait for that to have some promo/deal or something.

Feel feel to make any recommendations.

Yes, both are compatible.

Nearly every standard ATX case will also take mATX motherboards.

To verify, click on the detailed specs tab ("Details") and scroll down to "Motherboard compatibility". You will see "Micro ATX/ATX".
