Will it work?

Without the actual internal dimensions of the case, it is hard to tell; depending on the positioning of the motherboard inside the case it is either not going to work or it is going to be very tight.

I say the above because the case lists 315mm as the height. With a motherboard height of 244mm and a SFX PSU thickness of ~64mm (using silverstone's spec), that leaves you with very little play room. So if that 315mm listed for the case is the external dimension, it depends on the thickness of the case and the spacing allowed between the motherboard and the bottom of the case and the motherboard and the psu.

At any rate, if you wanted to use all of the slots on that mobo, you'd be SOL as there are four PCIe slots and only three expansion openings on the case you've listed.

Have you looked at a Silverstone TJ08-e? It's a bit bigger but will allow you a lot more room to customize / expand (but does cost a fair bit more than the case you've listed).
 
That video doesn't show much of anything... at one point the guy uses a measuring tape and gets ~13 inches for height. A couple problems with this are that you can't see the attachment point of the other end of the measuring tape in the video, so you can't see how accurate the measurement is and you have no idea how thick the case material is or how much of that size is used for component spacing.

At the price listed you could just buy the case and take some very detailed / proper measurements before buying the rest of the components to ensure that they fit ;)
 
OK thanx, I just think it is odd what they call a SFF case, SFF cases should be closer to that size...

You can get a random sampling of five people here, and you will get five definitions of what SFF is.

The only thing that almost everyone can agree on is that SFF means it is smaller than an ATX mid tower. It is the how much smaller that people bicker over.
 
According to Intel, SFF is everything below 20L. Then there is uSFF at <7L and uCFF <4L. I think that's the most reasonable classification, but in the end, you are entirely correct.
