Hi, I am buying my first Gaming PC specs later today and I just want to verify that all the specs are compatible,fit in the case and are good enough for gaming on high/ultra settings? Note I will be doing some recording/editing/rendering too so note that some things may be overkill but I kinda need them, I am buying these off Amazon UK too, so are these specs good enough for gaming on high/ultra settings, are they compatible and will they fit into the case?
Specs :

Case : Corsair Carbide Air 540 High Airflow
Graphics : EVGA Geforce GTX 770 (2GB) Superclocked
HDD : x2 2TB Seagate Barracuda
SSD : Samsung 120GB EVO
Motherboard : Asus Maximus VI Hero C2 Motherboard
Processor : Intel Core i7 4770K
CPU Cooler : Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO (120mm)
OS : Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM
Power Supply : Corsair Professional Series AX 760 Watt ATX/EPS Fully Modular
RAM : Corsair Vengeance Pro Series 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 2133Mhz
DVD : LG Bulk GH24NSB0 CD DVRW SATA Internal DVD Burners - Black
Monitor : Asus VG248QE 144Hz 1ms Response Time
Wi-Fi Adapter : Asus PCE-N15

So are these specs compatible, will they fit into the case and are they good enough for gaming on high/ultra settings? Games I will be playing are games such as Titanfall,DayZ,Far Cry,Skyrim,Battlefield,Call of Duty and new upcoming games.
Thanks :)

Yes they are compatible but for better gaming you could get cheaper motherboard, PSU and get 780 GPU

Pretty hard to go wrong with those parts.

Only thing I can say, you have a first class system with a second class network connection.

Gaming, online works soooo much better with a wired LAN.

I know--but I must use Wi-Fi, I don't have a choice.
So are the specs compatible and are they good enough for gaming on high/ultra on the games I've listed? :)

I agree with Mill and Ahmadjon above. Try to spend a little money to get a wired connection. Also, you could downsize a few components to get better performance. The i7, motherboard, and power supply are overkill for gaming. Use the money saved from downsizing those to get a GTX 780 and you'll get much better performance. But everything is compatible already if you don't want to change.

I kind of need the i7 for rendering and recording as well as gaming and I kinda need the PSU as I tend to go SLI eventually in a few months/year and I love the fully modular PSU and it's powerful enough aswell so I don't mind spending it on the PSU.

Then definitely keep it, if you were only gaming then the i5 would be better. Everything looks good for your situation.

You can get XFX Pro 850W fully modular for less price!

Meh, just prefer Corsair as I am getting a Corsair Case and RAM aswell :p 
But overall--do you think I will be able to play games on high/ultra with the card for the moment? I will be going SLI or upgrading to a 780 over time anyway, but just for now, don't want to go too expensive, as it's my first build anyway.
So the specs compatible,will they fit in the case and are they okay for gaming on high settings for the games I've listed? :)

For gaming you have good config and parts are compatible with each other! what CPU cooler you want to get?
Not sure about case!

I looked into the review of that case and saw that it has big room inside :D 
All your parts will fit in your case, you'll be fine with your PC!
Good Luck and happy gaming :)

That's a great cooler for the price! Make sure to pick Ahmadjon's answer as the best solution though.

Just a last thought.
If a regular CAT5 line is out of the question, you might look into those systems that use your electrical wiring.
I have never used them myself, but hear they work well.

Edit
Unless of course you have no access to the router.
