This is what I have so far. I need suggestions on a power supply, Motherboard, and CPU cooler. Also it needs to be in this Silverstone Raven case. Also, please tell me if there are other parts around the same price of what I picked out that are more powerful/durable.

Finally, did I choose a good CPU?

With MB, CPU cooler, and PS, price should be less than 1200

This is my build in the Milo ML07, which has the same internals as your case, but mine came with no fans. The Raven has a fan.

The pricing was different when I bought my parts. Your CPU is fine and the stock cooler works well.

The motherboard comes with a small WiFi/Bluetooth card.

You need more memory. Your choice is fine. Memory is a commodity. DDR3-1600 CAS 9 or less is what you need.

You have chosen a more powerful and power-hungry GPU than me. (60W vs 150W) but the Silverstone SFX 450 Strider I chose will run that card fine and, more importantly, it will fit in the case. There will be more heat to deal with, so you may need an extra case fan or two.

Here's a link to my build log so you can see how it went together.
