I decided to build my first gaming PC and I'm wondering if my MSI Intel Z97 LGA 1150 DDR3 USB 3.0 ATX Motherboard, Corsair CX Series, CX600, 600 Watt (600W) Power Supply, and EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti SC GAMING, 4GB GDDR5 will fit in the Corsair Carbide Series 100R Mid Tower Case? I want to make sure everything will fit before buying all the components of it. Thank you.

I will in a bit

But that $5 you saved also means ; better quality PSU, slightly better CPU, and much improved RAM I bet.

Actually I forgot to add CPU, too. Do you own that?
LGA1150 is an outdated socket. New skylake / kaby lake stuff will last longer and they carry their own improvements. Worth checking out.

Corsair CX550M is a FAR more improved power supply. The original CX series was highly unreliable and an unreliable power supply can mean death to your shiny new desktop. Big no-no.

Get back to me on the CPU/Motherboard.

I don't own any of the parts yet and the CPU I'm intending to use is the Core i5-4460 LGA 1150 CPU along with the Motherboard I mentioned

After looking around and following what you said, I came up with Intel Core i5 6500 3.20 GHz Quad Core Skylake Desktop Processor along with MSI Intel Skylake H110 LGA 1151 DDR4 USB 3.1 Micro ATX Motherboard and CORSAIR CXM series CX550M 550W 80 PLUS BRONZE Haswell Ready ATX12V & EPS12V Modular Power Supply, althought I had to upgrade my 16GB of RAM to DDR4 but the cost of the full build decreased by a good $5 :D How do you think about that? And also if you still want to give me a list of the parts, my budget is around $900.

At minimum you'd want this. What would you upgrade from here? I personally would get a GTX 1060 and add $70 into mobo/cpu to get an overclockable setup personally.

That looks pretty decent and I would definitely get a GTX 1060 but the Motherboard and CPU seems fine because I don't really have the need to overclock, and it's way below my budget so that's pretty awesome. Thank you!
