For a future build I'm planning, I bought a CPU cooler for use in it. I compared the specs of the cooler with those of my current case and found the cooler's height is exactly the maximum that I can use in my current case. Is keeping the same case recommended for the future build?

What’s the case and what’s the cooler? That may help to answer your question.

Yes, the cooler should fit if the numbers are the same for the clearance and height. They're generally a bit conservative to compensate for manufacturing tolerances.
