Have been looking around for a new case and I have come across new Computer jargon which is "Motherboard form factors", quick question will a microATX (244mm x 193mm) mobo work with an ATX Mid Tower Computer Case? Or do I have to upgrade my mobo as well? Thanks! :)

Quite common. Most ATX cases will fit an Matx. Read the description of the case, they will usually tell what types of motherboards they accept.
