Hello! I am thinking about upgrading my mobo and maybe my tower too I currently have a Phenom II X2 555 Unlocked and 8GB of ram lying around:

Here's the mobo I plan to buy.
I also want a more spacious tower, preferably from Newegg and don't know what type of tower that would be good for that.

I've bought a mobo in the past, some biostar that was a dud so I'm having some doubts buying another one.

They seem to match up but you should double check ALWAYS!

Cases - Here's a simple list until you can tell us what you want and how much you can spend -
Here's a good case, the Corsair Carbide Series 400R Graphite grey and black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Gaming Case at newegg. HERE - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811139008

Or this NZXT Guardian 921 RB 921RB-001-BL Black SECC steel chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

This is probably one of the best for cooling - NZXT Tempest 210 CA-TP210-01 Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Not sure if you're looking for something striking or plain Jane, everybody has their preferences, But here's a COUGAR Challenger Black Steel ATX Computer Case with 12cm COUGAR TURBINE HYPER-SPIN Bearing Silent Fans and 20cm LED Fan
HERE - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811553008
I thought you might find interesting.

Thermaltake is a good choice, Thermaltake Commander Series Commander MS-II Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Anyway, that's about 15 pages worth of newegg I thought would fit the bill depending on your tastes. My choices would be the Corsair Carbide 400R, then the NZXT.
