Are these specs compatible and good enough for gaming on high/ultra settings?

[CustomBiohazard]

Hi, I finally have my list for my gaming PC, but I must ask, are these specs good enough for gaming on high/ultra settings? Games I plan on playing are Titanfall,Planetside 2,Far Cry,Battlefield 4,Call of Duty,DayZ etc.
Specs :
Processor : Intel Core i7 4770K
RAM : Corsair Vengeance 2400MHz (8GB)
Motherboard : Asus Z87 Pro
HDD : 2TB Seagate Barracuda
SSD : Samsung 120GB EVO
Graphics : EVGA Geforce GTX 780 Superclocked w/ACX Cooling
Case : Corsair Carbide 540 Airflow
OS : Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Monitor : Asus VG248QE 144Hz 1ms Response Time Monitor
CPU Cooler : Cooler Master GeminII M4 Low Profile CPU Cooler
Power Supply : Corsair Professional Series AX 760W '80 Plus Platinum'
DVD : Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM
So are these specs good enough for gaming on the games I've listed and games coming out soon on high/ultra settings? If you wanna recommend anything aswell for the same price or less I will consider it aswell.
Thanks!

Yes they are fully compatible but why not XFX or Seasonic PSU? And also no need on 2400Mhz RAM get 1600/1866Mhz

 

[numanator]

If this is for gaming and not rendering, why not go for the i5 4670k? You could use the extra $$ to up your SSD to 240GB.

The corsair AX is a good PSU, personally I prefer Seasonic or XFX. Either one if fine.

Also, you may be able to fit 2 gtx 780s in the build by cutting the ram speed and going to an i5 which would be pretty sweet unless you plan to sli the 780 ti in the future (may need larger psu).

Overall pretty sweet, Have fun!

Looks really solid for me but I wouldn't recommend you 2400Mhz RAM!
Edit: Corsair AX PSU's are good but not worth the money you can get XFX 850W PSU for 110$

I will be recording and editing and rendering too, should've mentioned that, but that's the reason for the i7 😛
And yeah, I am planning on doing SLI for the EVGA Geforce GTX 780 in the future, but not just yet.
If I were to, could I SLI an EVGA Geforce GTX 780 and a 780 TI? Or must they both be the same?
Thanks! 😛

I would go for an XFX 850W PSU but the fact is that from the website I'm buying the parts (Overclockers UK) they don't stock those PSU's. And I wanna buy all my specs from the same website but yeah, I don't mind paying the bit extra to get it all from the one website, and besides I like having things from the same brand, in this case, the case,RAM and PSU from Corsair 😛

So would it be able to run the games I've listed on high/ultra, right? Or are the parts not good enough? 😛

 

[logainofhades]

Changed some stuff and was able to get a 780ti into the build. This build is $1 within the previous build with MIR's turned off. I would probably go a bit less and go with a Z87 extreme4 though for motherboard.

Your build would be able to run all modern games on ultra setting at 1080p resolution 😛

Changed the build again. Chose an Asus board with built in Wifi. Comes out a bit cheaper yet.

I'm pretty sure that both the gpus have to be exactly the same model to SLI, so only 2 780 ti or 2 780. Since you plan to SLI go for 850w, 750 can probably do it but i like to have some head room.

Pretty sure the OP said they were sticking with Corsair. I would rather just get a Evga 750w super nova.

I would LOVE that rig, that 780 TI would be amazing, but I am buying from Overclockers UK, so my budget is £1500, £1700 being the max, think you could work around that website trying to keep the processor,graphics,case and monitor?
Thanks

 

[logainofhades]

I don't think they had that case. I will look again though.

About the best I can do with getting everything from same store and keeping you open for SLI capability and known good overclocking. I wasn't familiar enough with other parts to feel comfortable suggesting them.
