You'll either want to swap out that case or the Extreme-Z as they aren't compatible with each other. As in, the Extreme-Z is an Extended mobo (larger than the standard) and the case you have there only fits Mirco ATX and ATX (standard).
If you wanna keep your case, but still want a ROG board (of course you do!) then you want the Maximus IV GENE-Z/Gen 3. This is a mATX board and will fit perfectly in the case you selected. Also it's much cheaper than the Extreme. (:
With that extra money you could put it into getting a better video card, maybe.
PSU is fine, but you could get a TX750 (non modular) for a little less money, freeing up more money for a better GPU.
Everything else looks fine.
Worth every penny!
Pros: From the look to the features. This Case has it all. Very well made & the cable management is second to none. Easy to build in & has enough room for any video card on the market today. It also will fit an E-ATX board (Maximus IV Extreme-Z) The fan controller actually is very handy & @ first I was like, why put it in there. I use it all the time now! Lots of room on the backside for cables, it's also very sturdy & side panels were made with thought. Case is bigger than most Mid-Towers
Cons: No USB Header
