Nope. It won't fit. You need a mATX (micro ATX) motherboard.

Nope.
You need a microATX motherboard to fit in that case.

The above is just an example.

Here is the best motherboard I have found which supports that CPU and is mATX.

Downside, like most mATX boards, there is only 2 RAM slots, allowing for a maximum of 4GB.
