I want a gaming PC and I was looking for a case smaller than 45 x 30 x 37 cm (HxWxD) that would fit all the parts, that's why I chose the BitFenix Prodigy (40.4x25x35.9).
I won't be overclocking.

A few questions:

1. What do you think of this build?

2. Will everything fit in the case?

3. I think the Prodigy includes 2 120mm fans, but the GA-H87N-WIFI specifies only 1 system fan header. Is this correct? Do I need a fan splitter?

4. Does it need more cooling? (Room temperature >35ºC some summer days)

5. Is there anything else I should buy?

Thank you for your help!
 
I haven`t done much homework on this case. I found others who have that hyper 212 fan installed, so it looks like that will fit, but I`m worried about the GPU. According to the case homepage:

Q: What is the maximum clearance for VGA cards on Prodigy?
Length, PCI-Slot to front panel: 335mm
PCI-Slots to HDD-Cage (effective maximum VGA card length): 180mm

And your card is either 295mm or 275mm depending on which revision you have. So it looks like that HDD cage will have to come out. Have you done any research on this already?

I've seen builds where they fit it and read that this can be solved removing the top HDD cage.
