Do these components work together and are they ideal?

I am about to buy and build my first pc. I plan do do some fairly serious gaming. BF3 and similar. These are all the components:

CPU: Intel 3rd Generation Core i5-3570K CPU
MOBO: AsRock Z77 Extreme4
Case: Coolermaster Storm Enforcer Mid Tower ATX
PSU: Corsair HX750 Professional Series HX 750W ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Gold
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 3.5 inch 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB 6GB/S
RAM: Corsair CML8GX3M2A1600C9 LP Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1600MHz CL9 DDR3
Graphics Card: Asus GeForce GTX 660 DirectCU II Nvidia
(Links will be at the bottom of these items from amazon)

Now my general question is will this work? I've done a lot of researching and am at the last few steps. I just want confirmation that this will all come together well. The graphics card has already been bought, but I could in theory replace it.

So is it all compatible?
Will the case be able to contain everything? To small or even to big?
Is the PSU overkill, and should I perhaps buy the cheaper bronze one instead of gold?
What do I need to do with regards to headphone jacks and USB ports?
Is there a better Hard Drive out there? There seem to be many complaints of noise where ever I look! No brand seems to be the easy choice.
Also the case seems nice, but should I spend less money on a different one? Are cases all about looks?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Everything will fit together.

Only thing I would have done is put cheaper PSU (like Corsaire HX650, Antec 620 HCG) and put the difference on a 660 TI card. Remember that, the less load you put on a PSU, the less efficient it is... And >= 650w good PSU should be enough to SLI 660 cards if you want to do it later.

But, it is a nice build that will serve you well mister for mid to high quality gaming on recent games.

Yup. All should work. Add a Hyper 212 Evo if you're going to overclock.

Will the case be able to contain everything? To small or even to big?

No that case will fit everything.

Is the PSU overkill, and should I perhaps buy the cheaper bronze one instead of gold?

You could get the Corsair TX650 and save a few bucks there, it's not as good as the HX but it will save some money and get the job done.

What do I need to do with regards to headphone jacks and USB ports?

There's ports on the motherboard that specifically say what to plug in.

Is there a better Hard Drive out there? There seem to be many complaints of noise where ever I look! No brand seems to be the easy choice.

Not really unless you're adding an SSD.

Also the case seems nice, but should I spend less money on a different one? Are cases all about looks?

Case is more of a personal preference thing than anything else. If you like that case go for it.
