Building a gaming and animation computer- Will the parts fit in the case?

[Urbanknight4]

I am in the market for a desktop computer- specifically, one made for medium animation work and heavy gaming. I've poured a ton of research into this and my friends are all annoyed by how much I badger them about perfecting my build, so I think I'm finally done with this guy. I'll post my build, and then I'll ask you guys some last-minute questions before ordering the parts. Please take note that this is my first time building and ordering a computer, and that my research does not make me an expert, that's what you guys are!

Here is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vbV9P6

My concerns right now are fitting all the parts in the case I chose. I'm not sure if it'll give me any trouble, but I'm still a bit worried about it. The second concern I have is a little notification you guys will be able to see at the bottom of the pcpartpicker list. It says "Some AMD 970 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vishera CPUs." What does that mean to you guys? Should I worry about it?

Anyways, thank you for reviewing my list! This is my first desktop computer, and I want it to be able to handle Photoshop, Cinema 4D, and major games. For $1,100, I figure this is the best rig I could have cobbled together, but again, I'm not an expert.

Update: I have deleted the speakers from my build, I have discovered that the monitor comes pre-built with some.

First off I would lose the tin can speakers - the ones built into your monitor are better than those. Second for your uses 16GB is mega overkill, drop that to 8GB and upgrade your CPU to an Intel i5 - it will be a far better investment than an AMD FX will be at this price point. The Corsair CX series power supplies are also not that great.

That will be a much wiser use of $800 and you can add whatever monitor, keyboard and mouse you want. If you have an $1100 budget you can definitely upgrade a bit and do something like this:

I appreciate your help, and I will rid myself of the speakers (I had no idea the monitor came with some), but I think I am content with the build I am running right now. Cinema 4D definitely benefits from the 8 cores, and the 2gb per core requirement for Adobe products means that a 16GB RAM is required. I mean, not only that, C4D also takes up a bunch of RAM, so it's just smart to get 16 right now. I noticed that both builds you gave me have coolers. Are they necessary or something? I know they are crucial for overclocking, but I'm not sure what that is so I'm positive I won't be doing it. Therefore, I don't think I need a cooler. I could be wrong, though. What are they used for?

Thank you for your advice, man, but I would really like my questions answered- do all the parts in the build I chose fit in the case? And if so, what the heck is up with that BIOS update? Should I worry about that?
