This is what I have so far, I think it's all but ready to be purchased : http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3nAHY

Being my first build I just wanted to get at least a second opinion from someone who is more experienced in case I was making any mistakes, all suggestions/advice is appreciated!

It's all compatible & solid to me. If it's just for gaming and general multimedia & not overclocking then I think you did everything nicely. & that Gigabyte 780 is a BOSS, great clock speeds & runs silent. (I have the Ghz Edition of it & from what I can tell you by my own experience.... IT WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!)

I decided against OC for my first build, maybe my next build I will! Yeah i've heard nothing but good things about the 780, can't wait to get it and test it out!

770 and 780 are fairly similar in performance and if you're going to running games with a lot of the add-on texture affects, you're going to want more video memory rather than processing cores. Until they release the 780 with 6GB of video memory, you're probably better off with the 770 w/ 4GB. Skyrim in particular is a video memory thief. Just a couple of tweaks:

I wish EVGA just brought out their 6GB 780 already!
