are all of the parts here compatible. i need to know as soon as i can.

EG if the cpu fan will bump into something, the ram is the wrong type, the GPU wont fit in the case. i need to cover all bases, Especially that theres enough power in the psu. its a build for my mate so i need it to work.

also two hard-drives are required for game recording.

it is really urgent, i need to know as soon as possible! Thanks so much guys

They are compatible, however, I feel there are some things that could be changed.

1) Why go for a Micro ATX motherboard when the Bitfenix Shinobi can fit a full-sized ATX board? Get the normal ASRock Extreme4 Z77.

2) Get the Hyper212+ or Hyper212 EVO. The TX3 is a decent cooler, however, in a case that large, it wouldn't make sense to go with it.

ok, it was more a matter of a cost i didnt really need, but if its worth it i may. what are the ups and downs of changing to those?

Full sized ASRock Extreme4 Z77 is cheaper than the Micro ATX version. So there are no 'downs' to choosing the full sized board

The Hyper 212 EVO will cool your CPU much better than the TX3 with an additional cost of around $10, very good trade off IMO.

oh, on the site i am buying off, its cheaper for a smaller mobo. im australian so i get my parts off of PC Case Gear.

EDIT: So are you 100% sure that all of these parts are compatible?

 

[mocchan]

Oh I see If that's the case, both the boards will be of equal quality.

But yes, they are compatible.
