PCPartPicker says that it's compatible, but I just wanted to check with you guys first. I plan on OCing my CPU to 4.2 GHz - 4.5 GHz and my GPU idk how much yet. This build is only for gaming, nothing else. I'm hoping it lasts me about 3-5 years before I have to replace a few parts such as the GPU (may do Crossfire by then), PSU, and possibly MoBo. As for the case, I know a mid-tower would be enough, but I really love the amount of features the Enthoo Pro has at the price of $100. Because of it's size and straps, cable management is super easy and airflow is great. Thanks guys.
