This is my Build:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1bkuL

I have several parts listed as custom at the bottom that I found at frys for a good price. I have included the links for the products. Can you please check out all of the parts for me and make sure I will have no issues with compatibility and that I will not have to buy ay adapters or extra cables?? And if I upgrade to a 7950 later down the road will I need change my PSU or any other component???

This will not work..literally. The motherboard won't fit the case.
Are you overclocking?
What's your budget?
Why did you put in the USB in your parts list?
Any reason why you want a mini-itx build? Or can you do a mid-tower build?

I might or might not overclock it just depends on how ths build performs.I really wanted a build with the bifenix prodigy so that's why I wanted a mini-tx. Ok I chose a new motherboard that says the form factor is a mini itx. my budget is $600. I put a usb in so I could install windows on here without using an optical drive.

An H61 board can't overclock. You need a Z77 to overclock.
The i5-2500k is an old processor.

Are you willing to ditch the prodigy?
Getting a mini-itx motherboard that can overclock will be really expensive.

I really want to keep the prodigy. Is there a newer processor you would recommend? for example would an i3-3220 be better?

I would highly go against a mini-itx build at your budget....but whatever.
