I am building a PC for the first time and after seeing the BitFenix Prodigy case, I fell in love with it and decided that this would be the case I would use.
I have put together a list of parts I was thinking of using:

This build is pretty much for gaming purposes. I was wondering if you guys could take a look at it and give me some suggestions for better parts, better performance/$, etc.

I'm also a bit lost as to what Kind of PSU and cooling solution I should use. I do plan on doing some overclocking.

hello ,

Here is what I changed ,

1- Added 16G of RAM 2x8 , why ? because Mini-ITX motherboards have only 2 memory slots , and you cant add memory later without sacrificing the old ones ...

hello ,

Here is what I changed ,

1- Added 16G of RAM 2x8 , why ? because Mini-ITX motherboards have only 2 memory slots , and you cant add memory later without sacrificing the old ones .. so fill them with 16G from now . and chosen better for overclocking with heat spreaders.

2- changed the Power into a better one from EVGA , it is gold and has 10 years warranty and full Modular.

Edit : The corsair H100i fans are noisy and annoying , you will need to replace them , I would prefer Air cooling using Nuctua to avoid noise ... unless you have 40$ more to pay for good 2 fans ..
