Right now I have an Alienware x51 with an i7-3770, Nvidia Geforce GTX660, 16 Gbs of RAM, 1tb hard drive, and running on Windows 8. I've had this PC for a pretty long time now and I definitely think its time for an upgrade. I don't want to spend too much money and I want to keep the CPU I have now. I want to put this PC into a new case so I can have more room, air flow, and upgrade the GPU but the way the Alienware is built makes that a lot more difficult. What I am thinking of doing is ordering a new motherboard, case, cpu cooler, gpu, and power supply.

My questions:
Just because PCpartpicker says everything will work together is that 100% accurate?
Would I be able to just install these new parts without losing any data if I'm using the same Hard Drive?
Does this motherboard support the RGB fans in the front of this case?
I'm not 100% on the motherboard, power supply, and case, so any other suggestions would be very helpful.
I'm also trying to keep the budget lower than $550 if I can.
