Are these specs compatible, will they fit in the case and are they good enough for gaming on high settings and gaming on a TV?

Hi, I'm building a PC soon and I have the specs chosen out, but are they all compatible, will they fit in the case and are they good enough for gaming on high/ultra settings? Games I will be playing will be games such as Battlefield 4,Titanfall,Far Cry 3,Call of Duty etc.
Specs :

Processor : Intel Core i5 4670K
RAM : 8GB 1600MHz (2x4) HyperX Blu
Case : Zalman Z11 Plus
Graphics : Asus GTX 760
PSU : Corsair Builder Series CXM 600W
SSD : Samsung 250GB EVO
HDD : Western Digital 1TB
OS : Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Motherboard : MSI Z87-G45 Gaming ATX
Wi-Fi : Asus PCE-N15

I will also be gaming on a 42" Toshiba TV, will that work? I will be using HDMI, I believe the resolution of the TV is 1920x1080, I will find out for definite, will that work? Or will the build be too weak for such a big TV?
Thanks!

There may be a few games that you will not be able to run smoothly at their highest settings (Crysis3 comes to mind), but most will. And most games that need to have their settings tweaked downward will still look great at 1080p. It's usually the AA that needs to be adjusted first.

That is interesting about Win8.1's tweaking and licensing. Can you provide some link for further info on the subject. My 1st and 2nd experience with Win8 was horrible. And I swore I would never go back. But I always keep an open mind.

Seems pretty good, but for me i would take away the solid state and go with a better graphics card because i have doubts that will play ultra 60FPS. Thats just me and some people would disagree so its just a sugestion. As for the tv, im on a 50 inch plasma using a 4670K and a R9280X and i have 60+fps(i only play on ultra with everything maxed on every game i list) on BF4,ghosts,far cry 3 and any game i have played except crysis 3 which was a consistent 45-50 fps.

We looked at benchmarks for the 760 and we are happy with the results, we are on a budget so we want to keep the big SSD for the main games and such, so if my 42" TV has 1920x1080 would a 760 run games fine at high holding 50FPS or more on FPS's?
Thanks :)

A GTX 760 will play any game well at 1080p resolution .

Potential improvements to your build .
Make sure you are using RAM rated for 1.5 volts or less . Lots of the HyperX blu was 1.65 volts . That makes it lower quality chips and it also voids the warranty on your processor .

Use Win 8 . You can customize it in a few minutes to behave like 7 by adding a start button program [ Classic shell is good and also free ] and uninstalling the metro apps . Right click and uninstall . Takes a few minutes .
8 is faster , faster to boot , and importantly the license is better and lets you install it on up to 3 computers [ one at a time ] , while 7 OEM is locked to the first motherboard

Okay, would the Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz be better? Also, regarding the 42" TV, would the 760 run games fine on High/Ultra with 50FPS+ on the 42" TV? I am pretty sure it's resolution is 1920x1080 and I will be using HDMI, so would it run fine?

I play Crysis 3 on a 1080P monitor on high settings with a Radeon 7870 . Seems to run 45-55 fps and thats plenty smooth enough . The GTX 760 is stronger

The Win 8 Home user license terms and conditions are printed on the cardboard sleeve the disk is shipped in .
OEM disks were never intended for home users . Retail versions were .
Till Win 8
The Win8 home user terms and conditions are here
