will certain parts would work in a new case?
So I have a prebuilt pc it is a acer predator orion 3000 and the cooling system is not the best on this computer. I was wondering if I could upgrade to a bigger case but i found out my mother board is a micro atx and I want a full tower case so I need to get a normal atx motherboard to fit the bigger case I have the two items picked out but I don't know if they will work with eh current parts I have, is it possible that somebody can tell me if my parts will work and if it will improve my pc or if I am in a stuck position. thank you.

Greetings,
You can use a microATX motherboard in an ATX sized case, just can't go the other way around for that.
