I am completely new to building a PC, and I need some help on finding out if my build will work. The main goal of my PC is to be able to play on the highest settings of games with out lag. Examples of Games: Many MMO's for example games similar to WildStar, EOS, WOW. Also games such as Farcry 3, COD, and Battlefield.
CPU:
Intel Core i5-4670K-$209
MOBO:
Asus z87 pro- $192
Graphics:
EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Superclocked with ACX Cooler. There were two options on amazon one that was for 4GB and one that was 2GB. I wasn't sure of the performance difference but there was a 50$ price difference, and I would appreciate if someone could enlighten me on the difference.$350/400
Ram:
Corsair Vengeance 8GB/16GB- Thinking of going with the 16GB- $70/140
Hard Drive:
Corsair CSSD-F240GBGS-BK 240GB - $200-210
Case:
Corsair obsidian 550D/650D- 129/139$
PCU:
CorsairCorsair Professional Series 760 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Platinum Power Supply AX760- $160
So the main question is if I ordered all these separate parts and put them together would they be compatible and work? Is the cooling system integrated with the Case good enough or will I need to buy extra/substitute fans? Also I would appreciate it if you guys could suggest a single monitor that would work well with my gpu. Because while researching I always saw posts saying people buy monitors that aren't using the GPU's to its full capacity.Also I wouldn't mind opinions if there are cheaper/more effective parts I could use or if I could upgrade for a minimal cost etc.
Thank you

Firstly, I'd use PCpartpicker for choosing parts. Secondly, that build can perform the same for a lot cheaper. I'm just saying that because a i5, 770 build shouldn't cost more than ~$1300, even with a nice case. BTW, for gaming, 8 gigs ram is plenty.

So the difference in ram for the gtx 770 will help pretty much only if you're going to play with screen resolutions beyond 1080p. Otherwise, it won't make a difference.
