So, I wanted to ask could I fit this mobo in my current case, and also, is there any downside in using a mini ITX case later for a gaming PC that I WONT EVER overclock? Like, are there huge cooling issues like for some laptops there are, or something like that.

Thanks

No, that case does not have the mounting holes for a mini-ITX motherboard.

The downsides for a mITX case are less room for expansion - be it something like a sound card or extra SSD/HDDs - and somewhat worse cooling. The worse cooling is not a serious problem if you don't overclock, at least assuming you pick a decent mITX case and a reasonable graphics card (eg. a Radeon HD 7990 could be a problem).
