Hey, I am buying my PC parts very soon, and I finally made a list of parts that I want, and I must ask, are they compatible? I am buying these parts from Amazon UK, and I will be recording,editing and rendering videos, games I will be playing are games such as Titanfall,Far Cry,Skyrim,Battlefield 4,Call of Duty, DayZ and upcoming games.
So are they compatible, will they fit into the case and are they good enough for gaming on high/ultra settings and rendering,recording and such?
Specs :

Processor : Intel Core i7 4770K Quad Core Retail CPU
Graphics : EVGA Nvidia GTX 780Ti SC 3GB 384-bit Graphics Card
RAM : Corsair Vengeance Pro Series 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 2133Mhz
HDD : Seagate Barracuda 3.5 inch 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB 6GB/S Internal SATA Drive
SSD : Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5 inch Basic SATA Solid State Drive
Monitor : Asus VG248QE 24-inch 3D LED Monitor
OS : Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Motherboard : ASUS Z87-PRO Socket 1150 4xDDR3 Max 32GB
Power Supply : Corsair Professional Series AX 760 Watt ATX/EPS Fully Modular 80 PLUS Platinum Power Supply Unit
DVD : LG Bulk GH24NSB0 CD DVRW SATA Internal DVD Burners - Black
CPU Cooler : Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (120mm)
Case : Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 ATX High Airflow Cube Performance Windowed Computer Case - Black

So again, are these specs compatible, will they fit into the case and are they good enough for gaming on high/ultra settings as well as recording and rendering? Please suggest any other CPU Coolers if you recommend any aswell for roughly the same price (£60)
Thanks! :)

The motherboard will fit, it supports ATX and your motherboard's form factor is ATX. I'm not overly sure about that CPU cooler though, that case height-wise isn't too big.

EDIT: Shucks, I just looked closer. It's actually bigger than I thought. I thought the case was supposed to be on its side, derp.

So it will fit? I just fear most of all that the GPU won't fit :S
And is it good enough for recording and gaming on high/ultra? :)

Looks fine. A bit overkill in some places, but it will work.

Certainly, but I intend on using this PC for YEARS without upgrade, so I went out a little bit but I think it's for the best in the long run, right? :)

Well, because technology is moving so fast future proofing is not really a thing anymore. ALWAYS buy a computer for NOW and plan to upgrade. There could always be a major change in software/hardware that renders very high end stuff useless in a year or two. Always possible.

Look at the gtx295. This was the TITAN or 780TI of its day. It was only out for a year before, BOOM, the change from DDR3 to GDDR5 vRAM. All of a sudden everyone's $600 GPU was barely able to compete with GPUs half its price.

These types of things are always liable to happen. Even recently. The gtx680 was $550 and a year and a half later you could get a gtx770 for $320 that will perform better.

NEVER build a computer for the future. ONLY build one for now.

*UPDATE*
Changed the motherboard, would the Asus Maximus VI Hero C2 Motherboard be a better option than the Z87-Pro? Also added the Asus PCE-N15 Wi-Fi Adapter, would the build work just as well? Thanks :)

If you are planning to game on WIFI, DON'T. Its terrible.

That motherboard is fine but is pretty overkill it is made for benchmarking maximum overclocks. There are boards for MUCH less that do all the same things.

Both the Ethernet and Wi-Fi have the same speed in my house, regardless, I can't stretch a long ethernet cable down the other side of my house to my computer, it just isn't practical in my house.
Anyway again, the ethernet and Wi-Fi are the same speed in my house, the ethernet doesn't provide internet any faster than the wi-fi, so it really shouldn't matter.
But regardless, those specs good enough for gaming on high/ultra settings? :)

Speed has nothing to do with why gaming on wifi isn't recommended. It is due to the fact that wifi is much less stable.

YEs it will play at ultra and is even a bit overkill for 1080p.

Okay, but in what way is it less stable? If you mean stable as in reliability and Wi-Fi going down, it rarely happens, and when it does go down, the ethernet doesn't work either. But of course I don't know what you mean by 'stable'.

Wifi can drop, run slow all of a sudden for no reason. Bandwidth can be choked and is not stable like Ethernet as devices connect and disconnect the bandwidth changes.

Fair enough, I really don't have a choice though, unless you have a suggestion for the PC? Note the Gaming PC will be on the other side of the house from where the router is located.
And after knowing more about Wi-Fi now, would it be fair to say gaming on Wi-Fi is not bad, but it's not necessarily good either?

It is not awful but it is definitely not ideal either. It will work, but if yopu plan to play in semi competitive settings where stats matter and aren't just for fun, I would definitely not recommend wifi.

I play CoD4 promod, which is practically a competitive mod. I play it on WiFi and I hold my own just fine. The only thing that gets me killed is running and panicking.
