CPU - 4770K
GPU - 780 ti
Motherboard - Asus MAXIMUS VI Formula
RAM - G.Skill Ripjawz X 32gb (8x4) DDR3-1866
CASE - Corsair 750D
PSU - Corsair AX1200i

I've had this build for over a month now everything stock and I would like to get into overclocking with water cooling. As you guys can tell, money isn't really a factor but would like to stay at a price range of around 500-600 max(Higher if is worth it). I need a build (res/pump/rad/fans/tubing)
that I can run the 4770k at least 4.5Ghz on lowest temperature possible. If there is a monitoring device that I can see the temperature of the cpu and gpu for the disk bay that would be great. Also what is best res/pump combo or separate and why?

You guys can probably tell but I don't really want those already made watercooling kit like the h100i, I want a custom loop one.

In the Overclocking section there are sticky threads with a lot of instruction and tips for water cooling. You should get as much info as possible so that when you start your loop you can avoid leaks and cutting the tubing too short. It takes a lot of patience and experience to build a loop and not have leaks plus make it look good. Never test your loop for leaks with power going to the motherboard. If there's a leak and liquid gets on the MB or video card with power applied it will damage those components , with no power you can dry them off and they will be fine.

XSPC makes a great front bay combo pump / reservoir and a good fan controller with sensors will give you real time heat temps. XSPC also makes good radiators and Corsair SP...

XSPC also makes good radiators and Corsair SP fans have great static air pressure for radiators. Distilled water is the best liquid and you can either get colored tubing or clear and use a dye to color the water.

These two sites have a lot of parts for water cooling.
