Thank you for your suggestion. But I am not going to play heavy games or something.
I am planning to buy corsair 500w 80 plus bronze or something.

And I find those Atx cases cooler than mAtx cases.

What do you suggest for that?
Here's a good budget case. Make sure to add a cheap 120mm fan for the back of that case for heat exhaust.

You should state the make and model of the PSU that's going to go in that build. As for the case, If you have an matx motherboard, why are you looking at atx tower cases? I'd personally look at CoolerMaster's NR400 chassis. One more thing, you should add an aftermarket CPU cooler to the budget, that stock cooler isn't going to keep that processor cool, regardless what you dial down on the processor.

unlike the rest of the system, the case is a long term investment. its the one thing that you will probably not change in a very long time (i had my last case for nearly 15 years) so getting a good one is important as it will save you time and money down the line. i.e if your case can't fit a long GPU or a tall CPU cooler, if you want to get something like that you will need to change the case, but if you have a case that has no such issues from the start you don't have to worry about it even again.
 
Your three choices are reasonable.
Pick the one that visually appeals to you. A case can be a long term investment.

Case size is not what determines cooling.
Airflow is what does it.
For a long time I used a silverstone TJ-08E MATX case with hot components and no heat problems.
