Hello, I am wondering what kind of stuff I can change to make this PC better and more fit for the parts to go together. Here's a link to my parts list.
If there are any changes that someone thinks should be made please let me know because i don't have a super amount of knowledge in PC parts.

I am basically looking for a PC that can run any game I want and be able to record or stream on high to very high settings. Considering I am planning on getting the GTX 780 I was not sure if I should still get a I7-4770k. Let me know, and thanks for the help!

Here is a much smarter use of money. This would perform better and it is also a good bit cheaper.

currently, there's only a few games that benefit from i7, its true that i7 > i5 but if you want cheaper, try i5.
and im not sure how good is a gtx 780 if you're gaming on dual monitor

If you want to be streaming/recording and playing at high resolutions, I would recommend either the i7 or an amd 8350.
The i5 is good for gaming but I dont think that it will perform the way that you would want opposed to an i7

The 780 you chose is the reference style, they run hotter and louder than vent-in-case style.

The RAM you chose is incompatible with the Haswell series of cpu's, you need 1.5v not 1.65.
16Gb (you only really need 8Gb): http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f31600c9d16gsr
8Gb :http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-memory-f312800cl9d8gbsr

The PSU you chose is overkill sor a single gpu, and not enough for sli, this is better:
single gpu: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ss650km
dual gpu: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-x850

while a great performer, not for a 4770k, I'd go with better cpu cooling:
