Yep. It will all fit, but not sure what you are after there...
CPU Cooler - Eh... Not worth looking at anything below that guys middle brother (the Hyper 212 EVO).
Thermal Paste - Not needed. The cooler will come with some.
CASE - Expensive!
Sound Card - Not needed. The onboard sound will be fine.

If you are looking for a nice machine in a small form factor, what do you think about the build below? An Intel i5, built-in WiFi and BT, small case, upgraded GPU, larger monitor... This would be a stronger CPU and GPU for roughly the same money. I left off the same parts you did (memory, drives, power supply, optical drive).

I don't really want and intel processor for the machine because they're not really the bang for the buck with how much money I have. Also the case is not coming from that site I'm getting an orange one and the thing that is so outstanding about it the it has 10 total bays which I plan on filling. I won't need the moniter too because it doesn't have speakers. Also everything I left off is because I already have it at my workshop.
