First PC build,too many options! Help needed :)

Hey guys, so long story short, I've come into some money from my birthday, budget is about €600, with the possibility of stretching to €650.

The Aim is to use it for primarily gaming,and game recording,games like BF3,Planetside 2,Blacklight Retribution etc. and I would be happy with 30fps,just bringing my console experience to the Keyboard and Mouse :) That said Im really into my Youtube channel,so I would like it to be able to decent at rendering videos,as my current PC renders a 10 minute video in 30 minutes or so,if I could cut that down a bit I'd be happy :)

So, after like a week of research and looking for help off friends,I've narrowed it down to: Cheap case (Just something to hold all the parts while keeping some airflow space),

MSI H61M-P31-G3 motherboard, Asus GTX 650 ti, Intel Core i5 2500k, Corsair CX500 500w PSU and a Seagate Barracuda 500gb HDD.

Here are the links to all the parts I've found:

CASE (€22) = http://www.custompc.ie/vortex-v1-black-midi-tower-case---micro-atxatx-121717-p.asp

Mobo (€43) = http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007QUPENU/ref=gno_cart_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

GPU (€155) = http://www.custompc.ie/asus-geforce-gtx-650-ti-1gb-gddr5pci-express-30928mhz5400mhz-118248-p.asp

CPU (€213) = http://www.custompc.ie/intel-core-i5-2500k-retail---1155quad-core330ghz6mbsandy-bridge95wgraphics---bx80623i52500k-119128-p.asp

PSU (€56) = http://www.custompc.ie/corsair-500w-cx-psu-cp-9020047-uk-118568-p.asp

HDD (€49) = http://www.amazon.co.uk/Seagate-ST500DM002-500GB-Serial-ATA-7200RPM/dp/B005GOTMR2/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1362353811&sr=1-1

So my question is this,will everything I've listed work together,and fit in the case?I also plan on picking up a couple of 80mm fans,will they fit too?

Last but not least,I've found better deals on some of the parts,so could you check out these links and tell me if they seem legit?Google lists them as trusted sites,so I should be good,but just incase,thanks :)

Thanks for the reply,see now I know a small bit about this stuff,Im not in depth enough to get into OCing and stuff. I forgot to mention it's going to be a Gaming PC,hoping to play BF3 on at LEAST 30fps minimum,as well as rendering videos,since I'm a Youtuber :)( Just edited OP to help! )
