After a couple of weeks of research I am now done picking a parts list to fit what I need. To my knowledge it will work well together, but I would like to ask around some first to make sure. The PC is for recording my xbox one through an elgato and editing the videos, plus some very casual and light gaming on the PC.
I will be getting some of my parts through best buy (even though it is a little more expensive, I can do payments and get it soon).

Here is my build so far
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/83VYHN

Do I need any case fans?

I would like to be able to have it wi-fi capable.

And the site only lists 1 compatibility issue
"The NZXT Phantom 410 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case supports video cards up to 305mm long, but video cards over 230mm may block drive bays. Since the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4GB Video Card is 267mm long, some drive bays may not be usable."

Is this a big deal for my build, and if possible what is an easy part switch to fix it without raising the price too much.
If it needs a different case, I prefer blue, white, or black, or any mix of those, but I am open to anything.

Also if you know of any switches to reduce price but not lose performance that would be awesome!!

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

I'd get a 970GTX with a twin cooler design. Or a 1060 with a twin cooler.
The case has sufficient fans. But it all depends on your room. I'd try it and monitor heat in the beginning. It won't be critical. If you realise that components run a bit hot you can buy a good fan or two additionally at a later time. (Same goes for the quality of the fans, sometimes NZXT fans aren't the most satisfying fans in terms of noise, sometimes they do quite well)

Unfortunately there was no price listed for the GTX 1060 but the RRP is under $300.
