As the Doc has asked your maximum budget will help + letting us know in which country you will be purchasing the parts.

Yes, it'll fit. The Corsair is less than 2" (4.6 cm) shorter than the NZXT and about 1/2" (13 mm) wider.

Wikipedia: MicroATX]

 

The max size of a microATX motherboard is 9.6 × 9.6 in (244 × 244 mm)

The standard ATX size is 25% longer, at 12 × 9.6 in (305 × 244 mm).

In addition to the info that the Doc has provided, many mid and full tower computer cases are designed to accept micro atx and atx type MBs whereas micro atx type cases will not accept atx type MBs as the atx MBs are too large for the case.

 

No problem btw Doc I`m sure you would do the same for me
