Will this build work?

First time making a computer, I'd like it to be quite high performance (able to run high demand games on high-ish graphics). I would just like to check if the things I've chosen work together and if there's anything I need to buy in addition. It would be nice if I could keep it at £900 (1400USD) or below.

Case: http://www.amazon.co.uk/NZXT-Phantom-Midi-Tower-Chassis/dp/B006I2H084/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t

Motherboard: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-P8Z77-...1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1346479141&sr=1-1

CPU: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-Gener...ogy/dp/B007RUZKK6/ref=pd_bxgy_computers_img_b

RAM: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CMZ...ory/dp/B004CRSM4I/ref=pd_bxgy_computers_img_c

Graphics card: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-GeForc...1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1346479438&sr=1-2

PSU: http://www.amazon.co.uk/OCZ-OCZ-ZS7...5_m?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1346480143&sr=1-5

Cooler: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Akasa-AK-CC...IS3U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1346480230&sr=8-2

HDD: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Western-Dig...1_5?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1346480438&sr=1-5

Currently that all adds up to £757 (1200USD).

Thank you in advance.
 
Pretty good build there.

My suggestions:

Don't get that cooler, save the money and just use the stock cooler, or spend a bit more and get this instead http://www.amazon.co.uk/Arctic-Cool...1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1346483866&sr=1-1 that should be much better.

Get this board http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-GA...1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1346483890&sr=1-1

Get this graphics card over the 560 Ti, the 560 Ti is getting old. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-11...1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1346483920&sr=1-2 that's cheaper and better than a 560 Ti

I'd say other than that it's good. Be aware though that full height RAM sticks such as the ones you've picked can get in the way of coolers, so maybe this would be better http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corsair-CML...1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1346483996&sr=1-1
