I actually asked about whether or not my build was compatible on a previous thread but instead was just told some cheaper places to buy them from. On my previous thread I mentioned I've already bought the case, the motherboard and the GPU, but I'm still yet to find out whether everything's compatible. Below you'll find the components to my PC Build with links provided to each, by the way I plan to run it on Windows 8.

Computer Case (Tower): NZXT Phantom Full Tower Case - Black
http://www.mwave.com.au/product/nzxt-phantom-full-tower...
=$173.10

Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VI EXTREME Motherboard
http://www.mwave.com.au/product/asus-maximus-vi-extreme...
=$509.00

Processor (CPU): Intel Core i7 4770K Quad Core LGA 1150 3.5GHz CPU Processor
http://www.mwave.com.au/product/intel-core-i7-4770k-qua...
=$409.99

Memory (RAM): Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4x 4GB) DDR3 2400MHz Memory CMZ16GX3M4A2400C10

=$245.99

Power Supply: Cougar CMX 1000W 80Plus Bronze Modular Power Supply
http://www.mwave.com.au/product/cougar-cmx-1000w-80plus...
=$169.00

Video Card (GPU): EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Superclocked 3GB Video Card
http://www.mwave.com.au/product/evga-geforce-gtx-780-ti...
=$899.99 (Best GPU to Date Nvidia[Now second best, god damn you Titan Black])

Solid State Drive (Faster): Samsung 840 Pro Series 512GB SSD Retail Box
http://www.mwave.com.au/product/samsung-840-pro-512gb-2...
=$499.00

Optical/DVD Drive: Dual Layer Blu-ray Combo BD-ROM DL Player Internal Desktop Optical Drive NEW
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Dual-Layer-Blu-ray-Combo-BD-...
=$78.99

P.S. Also, do you think this build would be able to run BF4 on Ultra at a good FPS and a fairly good Resolution?

P.P.S. Do you think it would be worth investing on an after-market heat-sink fan as well as a few more fans for the actual computer itself?

P.P.P.S. I know the prices are pretty high but unfortunately I live in Australia so shipping's pretty killer. I'm pretty comfortable with paying the amount I am at the moment anyways.

-Everything is compatible
-It will run BF4 on ultra at 1080p pretty good
-Aftermarket heat sink is worth it, since your build is with unlocked processor, and pretty expensive one, so get decent air or liquid cooler. Air cooler like Noctura DH14 or liquid like Corsair H100i

Parts i would change:
-8GB of RAM instead 16GB
-If it is only for gaming, Intel i 5 4670K
-Samsung Evo SSD, cheaper than PRO, and almost the same speed as the PRO
-Definitely PSU form the brands like: Corsair, XFX, Antec or SeaSonic in the range of 700-750W, if you are not going to SLI in the future.

Thanks for the answers! With the PSU I didn't really know what to look for so if you have any suggestions that'd be great. I can go up to about $200-$300 on the PSU so don't worry about the price of it. Also with the RAM, are you suggesting that I go with the 8GB's because my CPU might bottleneck it? I'm fairly new to this so sorry if I misinterpreted anything. Thanks for the answers though.

Here are some PSU recomendations, ether one of them will serve you fine, although my pick will be the XFX 750w

Also i was suggesting 8GB of RAM, because today's games do not need more than 8GB of RAM. If you will be doing some video editing/rendering or some multithreaded tasks, then stick to the i7 4770k and 16GB of RAM. If it will be only used for gaming, than your choice is i5 4670k and 8GB of RAM.
Also about some bottleneck issues, do not worry, even a nuclear reactor wouldn't bottleneck your system with any processor you choose
