Are all of these parts compatible? Will they all fit in the case?

Hi DynastyaP
all looks good with the exception of your psu that just meets minimum power requirements for your gpu at 500W
I would go for a 600W - 650W psu for a bit of headroom
also you have not mentioned your cpu cooler ? height could be an issue , if going with an air cooler your case will support coolers of up to 155mm
so be carefull what cooler you use, it must be under 155mm in height or you wont get the side panel on your case
also your motherboard will accept 1600mhz ddr3 but you may have to enable xmp settings in the bios to run it at that speed , i think your mobo only takes 1333mhz natively so it will downclock it to 1333mhz

edit i checked your mobo cpu support list it will accept the fx6300

If that is the micro ATX motherboard I'm looking at, it doesn't support the 1600 memory, nor the AMD FX series (not sure about that one). If I can make a recommendation, I'd go with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131872. Its about $20 more and a regular ATX board, but it will still work with your case.

Please check your facts before posting, mickypheonix is right about the CPU and RAM.

I have two for those boards, both with FX 8320's. One has 4gb of ddr3 1600 and the other one has my old 8gb ripjaws 2133 kit. I have not tinkered with the settings beyond setting multiplier to 20, for FX 8350 speeds, so not sure what speed ram is running at.

Yeah, I wasn't sure about the FX series in that board, obviously I didn't look into it too much. The specs of the board say it supports up to 1333mhz ram, so I assume your memory is downclocked to that.
