Just wanted to make sure that everything here will be alright.

Here are the new parts that I will be buying.

Case: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Power Supply: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

CPU Cooler: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

And here's my current parts that will also be going inside the new case.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K CPU @ 3.40GHz
GPU: Geforce GTX 660 2GB
HDD: 1TB 7200RPM
RAM: 8gb Corsair Vengeance
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3

So what I'm asking is will all these parts work together with no problems.

No, that'd be a huge waste of money.

What cooler, case, and PSU are you currently using? How much are you looking to spend for your upgrades? Why are you upgrading?

That's a bit of an over-spend for a case. If I was you I'd look at Cooler Master or NZXT cases. Fairly cheap considering, and well worth it.

The case isn't even the bad component here. The CPU cooler and PSU are both incredibly over-priced. The case is top quality and has tempered glass.
*EDIT*
but I agree, it's more than he should be paying for a case upgrade right now IMO.

Depends on personal preference really. I'd easily go with the companies I mentioned over a mid-tower that costs that much. The glass is bumping the price up quite a lot.

Like I said though, personal preference.

Could you recommend me another CPU cooler and PSU for around the same price please. Also I will be upgrading the rest of the components over the course of next year.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] / [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

CPU Cooler: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (£39.95 @ Aria PC)
Storage: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (£105.00 @ Amazon UK)
Case: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (£119.99 @ CCL Computers)
Power Supply: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] (£73.12 @ Aria PC)
Total: £338.06

I'd get the SSD before the cooler. Much better, and fully modular PSU. Cheaper tempered glass case. I also included a nice cheap AIO CLC for you to add whenever. You could get a 240GB Trion 150 SSD instead of the 525GB MX300 if you want to save money, or maybe get the 240GB SSD and the CPU cooler within budget.

Say I got the Cooler + PSU First the SSD would be a week later.

Is it still going to work with the Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Glass Case. I know it's expensive but I'm willing to pay for it.
