I've been a fan of custom computers for a long time now, and I think it's finally time for me to try a build. Here is my parts list:

Case: Corsair Obsidian Series 450D http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139042
Motherboard: ASUS A88X-PRO FM2+ / FM2 AMD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132056
APU: AMD A10-6800K Richland 4.1GHz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113331
Graphics: ASUS R7260-1GD5 Radeon http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121841
Heatsink: ARCTIC Freezer A11 CPU Cooler http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186092
PSU: CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139010
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231568
SSD: SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE120BW 2.5" 120GB SATA III http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147247
HDD: Western Digital WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236339
Wireless Adapter: ASUS PCE-N15 Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g/n PCI Express http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320074
LED Lighting (because why not): NZXT HUE RGB Led Controller http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811992011


I'm looking for advice for optimizations, and confirmation that this will actually work (is the power supply correct, will everything fit in the case). Feel free to tell me my choices are awful, I've never done this before, but eh, everyone starts somewhere. :)

Also I want to use only air cooling. I've chosen a CPU heatsink fan, and the case comes with 3 fans, but will that be enough for good cooling?
