Case question - "High Endish" Gaming Pc

Hi, i dont know if this is the right section for my thread, im sorry :)

 

First of all I would like to give you information on the parts i choose for my PC:

 

CPU = i7 6700K 

CPU Cooler = Noctua DH-15

Motherboard = Asus Maximus VIII Hero

Memory = Corsair Vengeance 16GB LPX (4x4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory

Storage = MX200 Crucial 500GB - Seagate 2TB

Video Card = MSI Geforce GTX 980ti

Power Supply = be quiet! Dark Power Pro 10 650W 80+ Gold

 

Case: Fractal Design Define R5

My question: Will all the parts fit into this case perfectly? I know that the Noctua DH-15 is supposed to be quite large.

 

Another important question: How will the Airflow work. Will I have to install another fan on the front since there is only one? And how do i install the Noctua DH-15 (direction wise)?

 

Maybe some of these questions sound stupid to you but im a big noob when it comes to this stuff. I just got into all this self assembling and technical stuff around everything. Its also going to be the first PC i assemble myself.
