Here is the build I'm planning for my computer. I have only built one computer in the past so I'm still not sure if all these parts will fit and work in this case, also do I have enough watts in my power supply for the build?

CASE:
BitFenix Mini-ITX Tower Case Without Power Supply, Midnight Black BFC-PRO-300-KKXSK-RP

MOTHERBOARD:
EVGA Z87 Stinger Haswell LGA 1150 Mini-ITX 2 DIMM Dual-Channel DDR3 2666MHz+ Motherboard (111-HW-E872-KR)

PROCESSOR:
Intel Core i7-4790K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.40 GHz) (BX80646I74790K)

RAM:
Corsair Vengeance Red 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1866 MHz (PC3 15000) Desktop Memory (CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9R)

VIDEO CARD:
EVGA GeForce GTX780 SuperClocked 3GB GDDR5 384bit, Dual-Link DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI,DP, SLI Ready Graphics Card (03G-P4-2783-KR) Graphics Cards 03G-P4-2783-KR

POWER SUPPLY:
Silverstone Tek Strider Series ATX12V/EPS12V 550W 80+ Gold PFC Power Supply with Full Modular Cables ST55F-G

HARDDRIVE/SSD:
Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Single Unit Version Internal Solid State Drive MZ-7TE250BW

DRIVE:
Asus 24x DVD-RW Serial-ATA Internal OEM Optical Drive DRW-24B1ST (Black)

Will this work?

EDIT: Should I buy a heatsink?

If you arent overclocking you should consider a Xeon (like a 1230 or a 1231 v3). The Xeon is the same as the i7 basically, but no overclocking, and no integrated graphics. But since you wont need the iGPU or the OC ability, it makes perfect sense, and can be had for around 200-220$. Basically an i7 for 200$. This allows you to spend more money on a graphics card, like a 780ti. if you want to stay in the price range youre at for GPU the 290x is a great card as well.

Get 650W from Antec ,XFX, or Seasonic.

Youll probably need an additional HDD (like a 7200 rpm Terabyte drive).
