Micro or micro atx is the motherboard form factor, its smaller then normal. It will fit into your case. Is there a reason for this specific motherboard?

They're smaller than a full size ATX board and they usually have less expansion slots and sometimes have less features than their full size counterparts (not always, though). They're basically meant for smaller form factor PC's, but you can use them with any ATX case.

But yes, that board will fit into and work with that case just fine.
