ASUS H61M-K
8x2 RAM

I'm thinking to get 1stPlayer Firebase x2 Gaming Case would i be able to fit my motherboard in that Case. following are the pictures,

Yes it will fit, both the motherboard and the case have mATX form factor.
One more thing brother, 1stPlayer G6 Fan, x4 how would they fit as the motherboard it has CHA_FAN x1 , USB56/USB78/USB910 , with 450watt PSU with connectors with 2for HDD/SDD 1 for GPU , might have 2/3 more ports available.
 
This is the specs for the 1stPlayer G6 Fan
A fan hub will indeed be the solution, provided it is powered by the PSU (either through SATA or Molex).

The 1stPlayer G6 Fan has 0.15A each
Don't go connecting more than 6 of these fans in one motherboard header using Y-splitters or it will fry the copper traces of your motherboard.
Motherboard fan headers like your CHA_FAN1 header typically only have 1A max limit.

On the other hand, SATA or Molex has a max limit of 4.5A, so you can connect much more fans through a fan hub that is powered by SATA or Molex than you would from a motherboard's fan header.
