Do these parts fit in a mini-tower case?

This is my first build. When looking at pictures of a mid-tower, they look huge. Based on my parts do you think I will need a mid-tower or can I easily use a mini-tower?

Intel Core i7-5820K
ASRock X99 Extreme 4
GEForce GTX 980 SC
GSkill 8x2 (16gb) DDR4
WD Black Drive
750W Power Supply (gold)
PCI adapter

I read that people have to do a lot of configuring with their cords in mini-towers, and with mid-towers it's hard to fit some mobos. I don't plan on adding anything else to that list. Since I'm not going to OC for the next 5-6 years, as my card is already set to do that by default + I can run max settings on games without the need to OC based on my parts. I don't need to purchase a cooler since I'm not OCing.

Will a mini-tower still be a tight or easy fit for my parts or should I play it safe with a mid-tower?
 
Solution
You need to look at the case specks a mini tower usually will not support the size of the standard ATX motherboard.
ASRock X99 Extreme4 LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Or the size of the video card and still have adequate cooling.
