Hello. I'm trying to make my first gaming PC build, hoping to get games playable at max settings (for me, that is 1080p at 60 fps)

Any blank/left out parts are ones I cannot decide on, and would like your help. I also am taking the ram out of my old PC, along with using it's case... Aka i already own it.

Is the parts I've selected compatable with each other?

OS: Windows 8.1 or maybe windows 10(if its any good)

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Computer+Cases-_-N82E16811119233&gclid=Cj0KEQjwyoCrBRCl-aa97pKX_t8BEiQAbrs_9Ks5XyEi7NAcXM8YWL_g8QcadvBfr5UKPStMznYrxYMaAhhn8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

PSU: I have no idea how many watts I need

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117372&cm_re=i5-4690K-_-19-117-372-_-Product

Motherboard: I don't know what motherboard will be able to fit all this stuff, you guys tell me.

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233143&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Desktop+Memory-_-N82E16820233143&gclid=Cj0KEQjwyoCrBRCl-aa97pKX_t8BEiQAbrs_9FCTe2qOjA_A7z0jY0LcqtHhaRgfgpK1Yf73GCjOBOAaAuPL8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

SSD (Not going to use any HDD): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147372

Did I miss out on any parts?

Here's what you say what you want. I would want a different case to use the USB 3.0 ports on modern motherboards. You have an overclockable CPU, so I assume you want to overclock, so you need an appropriate PSU, motherboard and PSU.
