I've spent some time learning the basics of building the computers and I would like to know if the parts will work together.
So here are the parts

Motherboard- ASRock 970 EXTREME3 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

So I have a few questions:

Will the motherboard support CPU?

Will the Case work with the parts?

Will it run Battlefield 3? (I checked the specifications and I think it will, but I just want someone with more knowledge to check)

Link to Battlefield 3 specs:http://bf3blog.com/battlefield-3-system-requirements/

Am I missing any parts?

Should I replace the fans, and If so which fans should I replace?

Do I need to buy windows 7?
 
Everything seems good but Newegg.com - ASUS VH232H Glossy Black 23" 5ms Widescreen Full HD 1080p LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 ASCR 20000:1 w/Speakers & HDMI, VESA Compatible that would be a better monitor then the acer.

Newegg.com - Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, comes with Three Fans-1x Front Blue LED 120mm Fan, 1x Top 140mm Fan, 1x Rear 120mm Fan, option Fans-2x Side 120mm Fan This case would be better for your situation since it has alot more fans and features then the coolermaster case, Plus its bottom supply monted so you would get better airflow then top
