I am going to build my PC but i don't know if the motherboard has any headers for the fan on my case.

Here is the motherboard - MotheBoard

Heres the Case - Case

The MotherBoard has 2 System Fan headers but i don't know if that is the same as a chassis fan header.

Thanks in advance

System fan and case fan are the same thing. For most motherboards, the sys-fan headers run at about 1 amp, which is ample enough to run 2 normal 120/140 mm fans. Your board theoretically can run 6 fans, 2 from CPU header (usually push/pull on a CPU cooler tower) and 4 others, 2 usually being intake and up to 2 exhaust. However, each pair is best used using a matched set of fans as the header will only see itself as being hooked to a single fan. This is average situation. Some fans use more than 0.5 amps, so a little research into your fans max amp draw is highly advised so as not to burn up the header when using a splitter.
