okay, i have never built a computer before, this is my first attempt. I wanted to know is everything compatible with each other. I'm making this soley for gaming(starcraft2) Planning to play this on 1920 x 1080.
 
You won't have any trouble with the parts plugging into each other. There are standards for a reason. 😛

The rest of the build looks OK. Though I would get this i5 760 + GA-P55-USB3 combo. You get a faster CPU, a full-size ATX mobo, and USB 3.0 for $9 more.

There is a conspicuous lack of an HDD or ODD though. Are you reusing them from a previous computer?

Yes it would fit.

I don't recommend using an old HDD. They are just terribly slow compared to newer drives. The drive is already the slowest part of the system, so there's no reason to unnecessarily cripple yourself. You can combo the 650TX with a Samsung F3 1TB for $115 AR. If that stretches your budget too much, I would definitely recommend switching to a cheaper case in order to keep the new drive.
