Everything is compatible, and yes the Hyper 212 Evo will fit in that case.

As Robert Cook mentioned, your power supply is a little borderline. According to this calculaor, your build should use just under 500 W at maximum usage the way you have it configured right now, so a 550W PSU will not give you much wiggle room. This one will give you a little more room to breathe, is a little bit more reliable of a brand, and is actually only $50 after a $20 mail in rebate right now. You would sacrifice the 80 plus gold rating on the one you have listed right now for 80 plus bronze, though, so I don't know how important that is to you.

I also notice that you don't include a hard drive (or ssd) in your parts list. Maybe you already...

The heat sink will fit, and every thing looks compatible. But, you may want a better power supply such as at least a 650 watt power supply, 550 watts will be eaten up quickly with that AMD chip, and running a PSU at max load all the time is not great for one.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207014 something like this is a pretty good choice. while it may cost more now, it should last much longer due to its higher load rating, and leave you with more peace of mind.

I also notice that you don't include a hard drive (or ssd) in your parts list. Maybe you already have one, but if you are going to need one, I would suggest this one, as it is very fast for a hard drive. If you can also afford an SSD, I would HIGHLY recommend one. My specific suggestion would be this one. It has solid performance at a good price (I linked the 240GB, but the 120GB is good too if you want to save some money).

They should be inline in the text. For examle the "this one" in "My specific suggestion would be this one" should be a link. It is working for me, but maybe they are not showing up for anyone else?
