Yes, it will fit, the 300r is ATX, and has all the necessary mounting points for smaller motherboards as well. But  personally I would go with a smaller case so that there is less empty space around the motherboard, it tends to look a lot cleaner.

 

Also, welcome to the forum!

It fits ATX, so it will fit micro ATX as well. The mounting holes are exactly the same (missing the bottom 3 of coarse).

What he said^

A smaller case also generally means less dead space and easier cooling with the same amount of fan power.
