Best budget microATX case for these components?

Alexander Moore67 said:Your board is uATX, and since "u" stands for micro, you won't have any issues with the case. It's all good.
That’s what I thought too, but hey, who am I to question the experts?🙄
That’s why I didn't bother dropping links to retailers... didn't want to cause any trouble.😁
So, just to be clear, if a case is labeled uATX (micro ATX)—regardless of whether it also lists ATX or ITX compatibility—will a motherboard fit?
And the same goes for the power supply, if the specs say it takes an ATX PSU?

I already have these three:

SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4890 DirectX 10.1 100269HDMI 1GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card... It's an older model, here's the link:

The GPU length is under 25 cm. I don't know the exact measurement since I don't have it with me right now.
The setup is intended for the living room, hooked up to a TV for watching HD movies and browsing—maybe some older games. I want a case that's compact and unobtrusive, nothing with a massive light show.
Since I keep getting conflicting info at local shops regarding PSU and motherboard compatibility (ATX, microATX) with different cases, I need some advice... I can order from Amazon US or Germany.
For example, something like this, though my budget is around $45:

Manufacturer's page:

It says here: - Motherboards: Micro ATX / Mini ITX
- Power Supply Unit: Standard ATX / ATX 12V
My motherboard is roughly 24 cm x 19 cm... I'll provide the exact dimensions once I'm home.
