Looks great! One quick thing I would recommend, if you are going to be building that insanely amazing PC I would recommend instead of the i7-3770K get the i7-4790K(http://pcpartpicker.com/part/intel-cpu-bx80646i74790k). Its a fantastic CPU and a great one for gaming, have fun!
 
Yes, they are compatible, but like Jack Poole said, why not get the i7 479K or i7 4770k plus the Z97 MB, because the price will be similar the old gen. i7.

Also you don't need the 1000W seasonic PSU for the gtx 780Ti, because you can even 3-ways sli gtx780ti with that 1000W PSU. Here is review http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/gtx_780_ti_sli_geforce_review,4.html You can buy 600W for single GPU, or 800W for the sli.

Thanks for the advice, do you think i'll ever reasonably need a better CPU that doesn't require me to have DDR4 RAM? Also I still dont know which motherboard to use the Asus Sabertooth Z77 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard or the MSI X99S SLI Plus LGA Motherboard, or something else altogether.
