Are all of these parts compatible with this case and eachother? I plan to use a Corsair H100i CPU Liquid Cooler when I decide to overclock the CPU in the future. Any suggestions for different parts or are there any incompatiblities? Please stay within $1400 CAD including taxes.

I'm planning to buy everything this weekend or next week as everything is on discount.
I live in the Vancouver area of British Columbia, Canada. Taxes are 12% here.

Thanks.!

Everything is compatible. There are two things I would change. I would go with this Video Card over the one you have. It's cheaper and has better performance.

Also I would definitely get this PSU over the one you have. It's cheaper and has more amps on the 12V rail. Also, its made by one of the most respected names in power supplies.

By the way, those are prices for Canada. I don't know if it changes with different parts of Canada. But they are suppose to be available in Canada through the websites on the right side.

I'd like to stay on the Nvidia side of graphics card as I plan to use Shadowplay and some other Nvidia exclusive features. Do you think everything would still work if I replaced the case with a EVGA Hadron Hydro and the motherboard with a Gigabyte Z97N Wifi mITX Motherboard?

Thanks!

Actually I'm pretty confident everything will fit but i have a question about cooling. Can I use the stock Intel cooler with the EVGA Hadron Air and not have heating issues?

Depending on the amount of airflow the inside of the case will be getting, it should be fine. The stock cooler is small enough that it should fit, I've never dealt with MITX so I wouldn't exactly know. But I believe everything should fit.
PCpartpicker.com would be able to tell if you any incompatibilities are found.
If your build does get hot and shut off, take off a side panel of your case and leave it off whilst you order more fans.

Good luck.
