I want the best z87 mobo i can get for this processor i will be doing tons of gaming on this and i do want to do some overclocking in the 4.2 ghz to the 4.5 ghz range maybe more later if i can.

I have been looking at the Asus z87 sabertooth, and the asus z87 deluxe. If these are good choices let me know and if there are any better options i would also love to know. Also for the looks of my build i would like to avoid red as a color i would like blue but black is fine as well.

This is what the rest of my build will be http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1Z6uv

This has the same latency (CL 9) and sufficient 8GB with 2 modules that'll put less pressure on the memory controller!
The 2 GTX 780 's is just pointless if you wanna game at a single or even dual 1920x1080 monitors!!
This is what you need at the most:

As far as the motherboard is concerned Grab the Sabertooth! It's flawless ;)

Well the ram is just what I wanted the price does not bother me and i love how it looks and wanted the 16gb but would 2 8gbs be better then 4 4gb sticks

May get the gtx 780ti but when I 1st made the build the gtx 780 ti was not out yet. But out of the two would the gtx 780 sli or the 780ti be better for future proof as i don't want to upgrade this machine for some time

Also i didn't mention it but i will do some video editing and other stuff is why i went with the i7

You are one wealthy man blowing your money like that I must say ;)
Well and however, , if you do not plan to make any change in your rig no matter how "saving-bucks" it would be, that's a pretty solid build ;)

I did change this around a little bit, so this is what i got now http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1Z7bQ

If you could find me a a set of blue ram sticks that are 16gb and at least DDR3 1600 i may get that in stead but i could'nt find any.
