Hey, I am buying my first gaming PC in a few days or a week, and I just wanna ask one final time, are these specs that I post good enough for gaming on high settings? Games I will be playing will be games such as Titanfall,Planetside 2,DayZ, Far Cry,Battlefield,Call of Duty and many new upcoming games, I will also be doing recording and editing and rendering, but anyway, are these specs compatible, will they fit into the case and are they good enough for gaming on high settings?

Graphics : Asus Radeon R9 290X 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (Battlefield 4 Edition)
Monitor : Asus VG248QE 24" Widescreen 144Hz 1ms Gaming LED Monitor - Black
Processor : Intel Core i7-4770K 3.50GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail
Motherboard : Asus Z87-PRO Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard
Power Supply : Corsair Professional Series AX 760W '80 Plus Platinum' Modular Power Supply
Case : Corsair Carbide 540 High Airflow ATX Cube Case - Black
RAM : Corsair Vengeance Pro Red 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit
SSD : Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic
OS : Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-Bit - OEM

I am buying these parts from Overclockers UK, so if you guys wanna recommend anything else, please make sure they cost the same or cheaper on that website, but anyway, are these specs good enough for recording and gaming on high/ultra settings and are they all compatible and will they fit in the case?
Thanks!

Meh, £1500-£1700-ish MAX
I was originally gonna get an EVGA Geforce GTX 780 Ti, but I just couldn't fit it into the budget.
And I guess, but if I were to use multiple websites I can only imagine the shipping costs :S

Wow, thanks so much! I'll see if I can get them on Amazon, as most the parts are on there, would that be best? Also, is the shipping free? :)

all of those places ship for free and amazon would take it over the £1700 budget, by a considerable amount £30+

the ram for £4 more at aria http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/RAM/DDR3/Dual+Channel+2133MHz/G.Skill+RipJawsX+8GB+%282x4GB%29+DDR3+PC3-17000C11+2133MHz+Dual+Channel+Kit+%28F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL%29+?productId=47360&source=skinflint

if you want ease of purchase.

I don't mind, Amazon is most reliable in my opinion, those places do free shipping to Ireland?

CPU is available at amazon as well but £30 more costly, if you're ok with that then you could get this.

I worked around it a little bit, I got the PSU I used in the original post, a 2TB HDD, EVGA Geforce GTX 780 Ti, Windows 7 and the Asus Z87 Pro motherboard as I needed the Wi-Fi and that motherboard comes with the Wi-Fi on the board so I could save around £20 instead of buying a Wi-Fi Adapter, would it work as well?
Again, is the shipping free to Ireland by any chance on Amazon? :)

Great! You think the PC would be better with a 780 Ti Superclocked by EVGA?
Would I be able to play games on high/ultra settings with that? Thanks :D
