Hi, I am building my own pc for the first time and I am just curios to see if all the parts I have chosen will work together and fit inside my case?

CPU: Intel 7th Gen Intel Core Desktop Processor i7-7700K (BX80677I77700K)
MOBO: MSI Gaming Intel H270 DDR4 HDMI USB 3 mini-ITX Motherboard (H270I GAMING PRO AC)
Case: Thermaltake Core V1 Black Edition SPCC Mini ITX Cube Computer Chassis CA-1B8-00S1WN-00
SSD: Crucial MX300 525GB SATA 2.5 Inch Internal Solid State Drive - CT525MX300SSD1
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz C15 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2B3000C15)
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G1, 80+ GOLD 650W, Fully Modular, 10 Year Warranty, Includes FREE Power On Self Tester Power Supply 120-G1-0650-XR
Monitor: ViewSonic VX2252MH 22" 1080p Gaming Monitor HDMI, DVI, VGA
Keyboard and mouse: OfficeTec Wireless Keyboard And Mouse Combo (KB101)

I'm new at this, are there any tips you could give me in terms of the hardware I chose and the process and order on building it. If you feel that I've chosen some parts that are not recommended, please say so. :)

PS: I did not choose a graphics card because I wont be playing any graphic hungry games any time soon but maybe in the future I add one so if you can also say if one would fit in this case thx

First off if you dont NEED a small ITX system over microATX I dont recommend it. Not only are you paying a premium for ITX form factor but you greatly limit your options in cooling and expandability.

No need for 3000mhz memory. Intel platform sees very minimal gains on anything beyond factory (2400 for 7th generation and 2133 for 6th generation CPUs). So paying a premium for 3000mhz memory just doesn't make sense with intel

Go for the G2, G3 or GQ version of that power supply. The G1 used parts that do not last as long; paying $10-20 more for the ones i listed will save you more in the long run. Frankly though a 550w unit will power anything except the most top end GPUs.

If you are wanting to save space then get an m2 SSD drive over a SATA one

Lets say I change the case for the
Thermaltake Core V21 SPCC Micro ATX Cube Computer Chassis CA-1D5-00S1WN-00
and the RAM for
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 2400MHz C16 Desktop Memory Kit - Black (CMK16GX4M2A2400C16)
MOBO
MSI Gaming Intel H270 DDR4 HDMI USB 3 micro-ATX Motherboard (H270M BAZOOKA)
But this MOBO I believe doesnt support overclocking, any tips?

I'm still not sure on the SSD and the power supply. On this build would you recommend a 550w or 650w? And which one do you think is better, G2 (fully modular, 650w), G3 (fully modular, 650w), G2 (fully modular, 550w), G3 (fully modular, 550w) or GQ (semi modular, 650w)?
I regards of the SSD, is there one that you would recommend?
And do you recommend I buy a separate CPU cooler? If so could you recommend me one?

After seeing poor design and poor quality out of multiple different thermatake cases used on clone towers my work gets, I do not recomend them. Corsair, Silverstone, fractal and Phantaks all make some good micro atx cases. Cooler Master is decent too for a budget.

Ram is good, if you want overclocking you will need Z270

Unless you have ambitions to have the highest end graphics card (so right now a gtx 1080/gtx 1080 ti then 550w is more then enough. Now if 650 is cheaper or about the same price then no reason not to.
Out of G2, G3 and GQ the G2/G3 is marginally better but all 3 are very good so frankly I would get whichever is on sale.

For SSD I would only suggest Crucial or Samsung, pretty much everything else uses blah Toshiba 3D TLC chips that are only slightly faster than magnetic hard drive in real world speeds.
Samsung 850 evo is the tried and true but this one from crucial is best bang for buck for the 500gb level: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/34Nypg/crucial-mx300-525gb-m2-2280-solid-state-drive-ct525mx300ssd4

Now with all of this said, might I ask what is your application because a Ryzen cpu might be the better platform for your needs.

Oh and FYI the 7700k does not come with a cooler so you will need one, and your choice for cooler will need to be made around case choice. If you want big overclock you will need a larger case or water cooling because a big air cooler wont fit well in a smaller case.
