Everything will work together well, except your CPU cooler. It's not compatiable with your case according to pcpartpicker.com

You could try this one. It will fit in that case and give you close to the same performance.

If you let me know what your budget is I can try and come up with an alternative build for you. Or see if I can get the current build cheaper for ya.

EDIT: Do you plan on using two GPU's in crossfire or SLI in the future?

Here is a build very similar to the one you posted. I changed out the case and RAM.

Here is an alternative build around the same price using Intel. You will get quite a bit more performance from this build. And there is also a greatly better upgrade path with this build. Intel is still releasing CPU's on the 1150 socket, whereas AMD is not releasing any more CPU's on the am3+ socket which the 8350 uses. Also, there is really no CPU better than the 8350 from AMD. You could get an FX-9xxx series, but you should be able to just overclock the 8350 close to the 5ghz the fx-9 series comes at. If it were my money, I would be buying the Intel build.
