Okay hello, I am building my first gaming computer. I've always wanted to build one but never got around to actually doing it, I am ordering my parts sometime during next week, thought I'd make sure all my parts are compatible before I brought everything and realized.

ASRock Z87M-PRO4 Intel Z87 S1150/4xDDR3/SATA3/USB3/HDMI/DVI/D-Sub/GigabitLAN/RAID/MicroATX MB = $79

WD 3.5" Green 1TB WD10EZRX SATA3 64M 5400RPM HDD = $62

Thermaltake LitePower W0355R 600Watt PSU = $69

Kingston HyperX FURY Blue HX313C9FK2/8 8G Kit (4Gx2) DDR3 1333MHz Desktop Ram = $93

Corsair CCSPEC-03 Carbide SPEC-03 Black USB3.0 Mid Tower Case without PSU = $78

Asus GeForce GTX 750 TI OC 2GB = $169

Intel Core i5 4690 3.5GHz 6MB =$239

The whole build is going to cost me a total of $789, it's a Australian build if you're going to ask why the prices are expensive. Are the compatible and will I be able to play most games and also live stream/record?

Yes, but you may need to update your bios before you can use that cpu, which may mean buying another cheap cpu to do so... To avoid this you can upgrade you motherboard to an h97 motherboard, or swap your cpu for an i5 4570. There is not much of a difference between the two.
