I need to know a few things about this. Will all of this fit in the case? I'm sure it will, just making sure though. Also, the mother board is pretty cheap, I just wanna know if it's a decent motherboard. Lastly, the Graphics card. I was wondering if the MSI gtx 780 is a good card. I know msi has some mixed reviews, but it looks good, and the price is good for canadian prices. That's it.
Thanks.
 
Everything should fit fine inside the case. AsRock is a reliable company IMHO, so your motherboard selection should be alright. Personally, I'd go Asus or EVGA for a video card, but the MSI one you selected will probably be okay. If you are planning to overclock your CPU, you will need an aftermarket CPU cooler.
 

I plan to get an aftermarket CPU cooler, they just didn't have them listed for some reason. Thanks.
 
If you go to pcpartpicker, in their top heading listing (CPU, Motherboard, etc.), click on the "More" block (to the right of "Case". You will find CPU Coolers on the left side under Cooling. It will show a wide selection, similar to how you chose your other parts. Hope this helps :)
 
You may be better off with a Seasonic or corsair power supply.
EVGA does not have the best track record in that department.
The go to cooler for the price is the CM 212
