I'll be upgrading my PC in preparation for a large model (strix or trio, I'm thinking) 6800XT. I have a mobo and case that are pretty basic and do not have experience installing either since my PC was prebuilt or with things such as variable speed fans.
The MOBO and case are these;

The questions I have are;
1. Which version of the MOBO is better, the regular one or V2? As far as I was able to research V2 mainly has a few more plug ins and is essentially the same mobo. Is V2 better or are there any reasons not to get it?
2. Secondly, I have never installed a new case before and the pre-installed fans on the case are confusing. For the MOBO, I see it has "Smart Fan 5 + FAN STOP, 5* Fan / Water Pump Connectors." So would that be where I plug in the pre-installed case fans and any other fans I add? Also, would the end result be fans that are automatically controlled by the MOBO and do not run at 100% all the time?
3. Lastly, pretty sure the case and MOBO are compatible, but the manufacturer site does not even give the form factor as ATX, though other sites do. Are the MOBO and case compatible?
Then a bonus questions. To fit teh large new cards, I am upgrading various parts in anticipation to when I actually get a 6800XT or possibly 3080, and a large model of whichever I get. Are these parts compatible?

As far as I can tell they are, but there's definitely the possibility others know better. Thanks a lot for any info.
