This will be my first pc build ever. I plan on using it in my living room. What do you guys think of my selected parts and what would you change? Is everything compatible? I don't plan on overclocking so do I need an after market CPU cooler? Should I buy any additional fans for the prodigy case? Help would much appreciated as I'm new to this. Thanks in advance!

You don't need an after market CPU cooler.

Not sure where you would put additional fans in that case. I think it's OK as it is anyway.

Yeah if you're not going to overclock a CPU cooler isn't required. Other than that the build looks good to me.

You can install Windows from a USB drive but you can't boot from a USB drive. You'll need an SSD and/or HD to be able to do that.

One more thing what are the best wireless gaming mouse and keyboard options?

I would actually suggest getting a cheap wireless keyboard and mouse if you're going to do it that way and then get a nice mechanical keyboard later on. Most wireless keyboards and mice are very cheaply made IMO.
