First time building a pc, Will it fit/work? My price range is $500

Wi-Fi Adapter - TP-LINK TL-WDN4800: http://bit.ly/1fqsZ6o

also I have no idea about soundcards, do I need one on this or does it come with the motherboard or what? Because I saw a lot of builds on here and they are never talking about soundcards?

Your Motherboard has audio in it, not amazing quality, but you're buying a budget PC, any extra money available should go to the GPU. I.e, don't worry about a sound card. Also, you have a ATX capable case, but only a Micro-ATX motherboard. Not that that matters, but you can fit a larger motherboard if you wanted.

Everything else looks good, I would suggest if you can afford another $20-$30 to go for the R9 270, it performs much better, and is only slightly more expensive. If not, the 260X is a good card, just not as much price/performance as the 270, which can overclock very well.

Other than that, a pretty decent $500 build.

And to answer your question, yes that will all fit and is compatible.
