So I'm going to be building a new gaming computer in the next few months (I've only built one before), and I'm wondering if these components would give me good performance, and work well together. I don't plan on overclocking at all, and I want a system that can max graphics at a solid 60 fps. I want to make sure that there won't be any bottlenecks or other performance hiccups.

Those components would be great, but they are not very cost effective. What is your total budget and will you need to buy windows, monitor, keyboard, and mouse?

What about RAM or an HDD?

If you're not going to overclock, you don't need that board or an i5-4670k. Those have inflated prices simply to allow overclocking.
The power supply is probably overkill, you could go to the 650w version of that same PSU to save money as well.

These parts would deliver exactly the same performance for a lower cost if you don't plan to overclock.

well if you dont plan on ocing why did you pick all OC parts? thats just a waste of money if you wont use them. Also use pcpartpicker. people dont want to open a window to see each part. what is your budget? do you need a OS? do you need a monitor? keyboard?

Those will do what you want, and with the ability to OC, you can prolong the life of the rig with an OC in the future

A friend of mine told me that the 4670k and the board I listed were the best choice for a 780, but I'll probably end up going with the chip and board you suggested. And are you sure 650w will be enough for the GPU and CPU? On Nvidia's website they suggest a minimum of 600w for the GTX 780 and I want to be sure I have enough power for everything.

A 600 w/ 42 AMPs on the 12 volt still leaves overhead room and will be fine

My vote goes to the i5 4570 and a B85 or H87 motherboard. The 4570 is $30 cheaper than the 4670 and there is only a 200mhz difference between the two. You could save another $40-50 by getting a B85 motherboard instead of the Z87 motherboard which you don't even need.
