Buying new computer, are all parts compatible? I think so, but I want to make sure before spending a lot of money.

SSD: http://goo.gl/VWkAtU
(I already have a mounting bracket)
HDD: http://goo.gl/q21EKN
GPU: http://goo.gl/cXYIGo
CPU: http://goo.gl/PCco2x
RAM: http://goo.gl/6jFAs0
MOBO: http://goo.gl/18QP7c
PSU: http://goo.gl/dS74Ms
WiFi Card: http://goo.gl/Sr9k8i
Case: I can't choose between 2 different cases, can you tell me which one (or both) is the right size?
Case 1: http://goo.gl/9xpyNq
Case 2: http://goo.gl/yBYs0o

If these parts aren't compatible, can you please suggest some alternative parts of similar cost?
Thanks!

Please don't buy a raidmax powersupply they are about the worst that you can get. If you use them you are putting your expensive components like motherboards, video cards, and hard drives at not insignificant risk of hardware damage. Seasonic, Corsair, Fractal Design or antec are the best you can get.

All parts are compatible, yes. There's a small chance you'll have to do a BIOS update before your CPU will work, and your power supply is mid-quality and right on the minimum, recommended amount, but it's compatible.

Consider an XFX, Seasonic or EVGA B2 power supply. Don't risk frying other components.

They are compatible, however I highly recommend getting a better motherboard. You are getting an unlocked CPU(which means you can overclock it easily because it has an unlocked multiplier), and the B85 motherboard does not support overclocking. You need to go with a Z97 chipset motherboard. Or at the very least an H97 board.

I would also suggest getting a better PSU. Get at least an 80+ Bronze certified unit from Seasonic, XFX, Antec, Corsair, or EVGA. The EVGA unit you have selected is only 80+ certified. Next step up is 80+ Bronze certified, which is the minimum I would ever even think about considering for a gaming rig.

Looks like you're good to go, everything is compatible. I would go with the Aerocool case, my friend has one and it's pretty slick, and has amazing airflow. The only thing I would suggest is getting a better motherboard, gaming on cheap motherboards doesn't usually end well.

Raidmax has still some bad quality component inside their powersupply. Please do your homework(no offense)

While there's a good chance that a Raidmax PSU will give decent performance and lifespan, there are other brands that are lightyears beyond them, and any builder want's to take the lowest possible chance of something going wrong. On top of it, quality PSU's are one of the cheapest components, so it's a no-brainer.

It's not about luck, it's about not screwing your system. You can use it for years and have no problems. When another person will use it and screw it's system up. I wouldn't take that chance. Go Seasonic, Antec, XFX, or go home.

Don't forget that Corsair and EVGA make some damn good PSU's also.

Yes I know, Seasonic are making some PSU's for corsair also, and for EVGA it depends on what model you're lookin at
