I have following components

Asus prime a320m-f
ryzen 5 2600
gigabyte windforce gtx 1060 6gb
cooler master 380w atx psu

i have old atx case where it doesnt fit gtx 1060 in part where u screw in gpu that metal bracket and also airflow is terrible

so i wanted to buy new pc case and the one i can afford and get is

ms fighter s300

will all parts be compatible and fit in the case?
 
I suspect the issue you have is the GPU's I/O not fitting between the slats at the rear? A common problem of old chassis that were designed when single slot GPUs were the norm. You can just bend that slat out of the way.

Likely would fit, but that chassis doesn't look very good for airflow either.

You really want the front as intake so you can get fresh air to the GPU.

In the ms fighter s300 with exhaust fans in the top, or nothing, there is basically nowhere for cool air to come in. If you put intake fans in the top, they have to push air against the rising air current coming from the GPU, and the majority of cool air would escape via the rear exhaust. If you flipped that, there would be no way for air to get out of the chassis at all.
 
All pretty much have the same problem. A functionally sealed off front.

Can't really tell from the picture, but it looks like there is some side venting at the front on that Joker case. If it is large enough, that is better than nothing. You lose a lot of airflow taking a 90 degree turn to get in, so the fans will have to run a lot harder to get the same airflow as something more direct.
 
Look for pc case with mesh front.
Cases with mesh front have way superior airflow compared to cases with closed front.

BTW - what exactly model gigabyte windforce gtx 1060 6gb are we talking about?
There are 2 fan models (224mm length) and 3 fan models (280mm length).

i have old atx case from 2007 which doesnt let gtx 1060 get in fully into pci x16 slot bcuz of gpu bracket is bigger. I placed pictures under so u would understand better what i mean, i used random atx case to show you what i mean.

Im barely using pc, not everyday use i wanna play some games sometimes and i just want to use some case to fit in all the parts, cuz of current problem i cant use gtx 1060 i use old gtx 750 1gb ram.

The one i wanted to buy is ms industrial m305 model of pc case, and i want to know will all parts fit in correctly, its cheapest one i could find and im not really into investing a lot of money into it, i know venting isnt good. I just want to make it work and use it from time to time.
