According to pcpartpicker.com it should all work okay, no compatibility issues with case size. As far as whether or not that case has the best cooling, I don't know, I've never used it. However it gets pretty good reviews and is a full-size ATX tower so it shouldn't have any problems. Just a couple recommendations, however: I'm running an i7-4770k myself, and they're known for getting quite hot. I would definitely recommend getting at least an all-in-one water cooling kit for the CPU. A Cooler Master Seidon 120M should be sufficient, but if you want even better cooling you can get a 240M instead. Also, the G.Skill Trident X heat spreaders will have problems fitting under an EVO if you decide to stick with that. However, while I've never installed an EVO myself, I've heard they have a bracket to raise the fan to clear the RAM.

Edit: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3s37F Here's all those parts together. Only compatibility issues it mentions are the 2666 MHz RAM requiring more voltage than the standard 1.5v Intel recommends, but that shouldn't be a problem. I'm running a 2400 MHz kit myself with no issues.
