All your parts look compatible, but frankly, I think you could have a better build by using the latest generation processor and chipset, waiting a couple of weeks for the GTX 1080 to be released which will have much better performance than the current GTX 980 Ti for the same price, and using a better quality PSU. The case, unless you just have to have it for the looks, doesn't really add performance and the money saved on a less expensive case could be put towards an SSD.

So the GTX 1080 would be compatible?
