1. Everything fits together fine, except the memory, though, it will be downclocked. You will have to Overclock back to the stock speed of your RAM
2. Nope, you have to buy an adapter.
3. Anything high rated from Belkin, or...

why would the memory downclock and why would i need to overclock to the stock speed? Is downclocking a bad thing, if it is what would you suggest me to get instead?

These are the spec of the mobo:

4 x DIMM, Max. 32GB, DDR3 2000(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1800(O.C.)/1600(O.C.)/1333/1066 MHz ECC, Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory
Dual Channel Memory Architecture

* AMD FX Series CPU on this motherboard supports up to DDR3 1866MHz as its standard memory frequency.
* AMD AM3 100 and 200 series CPU support up to DDR3 1066MHz.

I dont understand what this means since im new to pc.

Any reason you chose a small uATX board for a full ATX sized case?

Im not sure, i was thinking of getting water cooling later in the future so thought a micro atx case wouldnt be big enough for it. correct me if im wrong.

The OC next to 1600 means the motherboard doesn't natively support it at the speed, so it automatically downclocks it to the highest supported speed for compatibility reasons. Downclocking isn't bad, it just reduces the amount of bandwidth the memory provides, and overclocking it isn't bad either, unless you push it farther then 1600.
I would recommend sticking with 1333 MHz memory, as its just plug-and-play from there, and its plenty fast enough for most games, and get a high rated 2x4GB pack from corsair, mushkin, patriot, geil, or kingston.
As for the case, any ATX case is built with large coolers in mind, unless its the slim desktop models.
