Everything is compatible. That psu is not very good. The motherboard is ridiculously overpriced.

Which psu will you recommend? And what should be a fair price for that CPU?

 

[CTurbo]

Anything by Seasonic, XFX, Antec, Super Flower, or EVGA's B2, G2, P2, PS, or GS series. 550w is plenty for a single GTX970 and get 750w if you think you may use two of them in the future.

It seems you have budget for a really strong gaming build mate!
An oced I5-6600K + GTX 980 Ti is hard to beat.

what is the difference between micro atx and atx?

 

[Jayzz_1]

if the motherboard does not have wi-fi, can I still buy a wi-fi card and install it in the pc?

fillipi put the build with the micro atx motherboard into pcpartpicker and it doesn't look like there will be any problems with the current parts you have picked out. You may want to click the link in his message and add on anything else, like the wireless card, if you plan on adding more stuff, to check for compatibility.

OP, this is a much better build. But if you are going with your own biuld, change teh GPU to an R9 390 and get a 750w EVGA G2.
