ATX Mid towers are a medium to large sized case that typically fits standard ATX, MicroATX, and Mini ITX motherboards.
MicroATX Mid towers are shorter and possibly smaller and will fit MicroATX and Mini ITX motherboards.

Either would work for a MicroATX motherboard like you have.


Full ATX cases are much larger and typically have more room for multiple GPUs or other hardware on any motherboard.
Mini ITX cases are much smaller and fit only Mini ITX motherboards.

You can get anything along the lines of a MicroATX Mid Tower or above. ATX is the standard form factor for motherboards. It usually features multiple full-sized PCIe slots, a bit better componentry, and generally more overclocking opportunities vs. a smaller board.

Though, those vary depending on the brand/model you purchase. A step below that would be MicroATX, which is what you were looking at. One more step down in SIZE (not quality) would be Mini ITX.
