It will work, if your main goal is playing games, dont get a 4770K, get the i5 version, 4670K. The hyperthreading on the 4770K has no effect on gaming performance.Actually there are a few games where it helps quite a bit like BF3-BF4 multiplayer and Crysis 3. As newer games come out more and more will be optimized for more than 4 cores and the i7 will make more sense. This does not seem to be a build on a tight budget with a GTX 780 Ti so you are really better off in the long term with the i7.
And yes they will work together and no there is no bottleneck. Get a good Z87 motherboard with 8-16GB of DDR3 1866-2133 and a quality 600w power supply and you will be maxing every game for the next couple of years.

Here is a really good base. You will need to add a few things like a case and storage. I would go with a Samsung 840 Evo or Pro 250-500GB depending on your budget and at least one mechanical drive for storage.

There are tons of great cases. Antec, Coolermaster, Thermaltake, BitFenix, Corsair, Enermax, Silverstone.....I could go on. My advice is to go somewhere like newegg and decide what size you want. Mid tower, full tower etc. and then sort by price. Find one you like the looks of in your price range and then check for reviews. Some models will be advertised as award winners at sites like Tom's or HardOCP or Hardwaresecrets etc. Those models are usually pretty good.
I have an older Antec 1200 I have been thinking about updating. I kind of like this NZXT Phantom 820. I have an SSD and anywhere from 4 to 6 mechanical hard drives so I like big cases. You might like the opposite.
$239 on newegg but only $195 on Amazon.

^ Good case.
You do have someone helping you do this right?
A mechanical drive is just a traditional hard drive. An SSD well read this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive
SSDs are much faster than hard drives and eliminate the bottleneck caused by a hard drive. They are much more expensive though. Any high end build should have at least a 120GB - 250GB SSD to install Windows and your programs and games on. You will still want a traditional hard drive for file storage like music and videos.
My next SSD will be ~500GB for around $300. Expensive yes but once you have used a computer with an SSD you will never go back.
The Samsung drives are about the best on the market. The 840 Pro for highest end speed and the 840 Evo for a still very fast more budget conscious choice.

No you are not annoying me but just being honest you have less general knowledge than most people setting out to do a high end gaming build. Just wanted to make sure you will have help when it comes down to assembly. Although you really don't need any if you can follow fairly simple directions.
Very good SSD and hard drive.

All the cables you need will come with the parts and case, The case comes with 3 fans and that should be fine although there is an optional place to add another 120mm front fan. I would wait and see if you need it. You should be fine with what comes with the case.
A monitor. What resolution and what's your budget? Lots of good monitors. Samsung, LG, Dell, Viewsonic etc.
Here is a good simple 1920 x 1080 gaming monitor.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Something like this moves you up to 2560 x 1440.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
I'll be honesty here I have a 1920 x 1080 Samsung that is about 3 years old now and I'm not even thinking about upgrading right now so I'm not on top of the best deals in monitors like I am in most other hardware,
Your 780 Ti will handle a 2560 x 1440 monitor and might be overkill for a 1920 x 1080 setup. I am not the person to ask this though. Figure out all your other parts then make a new thread listing them and asking what monitor you should get in the Displays section of the forums. We have some very good monitor experts there.

+1 to anort3 if you live in the US and are gonna have parts delivered to your door I suggest using pcpartpicker much cheaper than getting everything off newegg only and it's also very well organized. Also I suggest if you are going for a single GTX 780 ti then go for an ASUS V series monitor something around 24 inches very good for gaming on general and something around 75 hz too.

Take note that there is a Warning Message at the bottom of this configuration regarding the RAM being out of spec with the Haswell chip.
