So these are the components im thinking of buying:

Processor: Intel i7 4820k Extreme Quad core

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z87-D3H (I picked this one to go with the i7 also it has a PCI Express I need it to be wireless)

Memory: Kingston Tech XMP Beast series 16gb 2400MHz DDR3 CL11 DIMM

Graphics Card: I went with the ASUS Nvidia GeForce GTX 780 Ti DirectCU II OC 3GB

Storage: I went with a 120gb SSD for my os(win8.1) and a WD 1TB HDD OEM Green(Reviews say its quite)

I picked a Corsair obsidion series 750d full tower case for the space and its neat setup.

The power supply im thinking of going with a Corsair AX 760w Modular for if I ever add more stuff?

For the cpu cooler I went with a Corsair Hydro series H100i 240mm Rad liquid cooler and I have 3 120mm corsair fans for the top and 3 140mm Corsair fans for the front and back also will be replacing the stock cpu water cooler 120mm fans with the corsair ones.

I have an Asus DVD-RW Drive for my windows 8 disk install and for my BitDefender Anti-virus.

So is this a good setup? Is it all compatible? Its my first ever time doing this so im new to the pc building but do know the basics. I'd love some advice and help with this just so everything is okay and I dont muck things up thanks.

Unless you are heavy editing, the i7 isn't needed. But socket 2011 is also completely overkill. Still no need for it.
For your own sake, give us a budget to work with so we can give you the best performing PC you can get.

Theres not really a budget, I mean I dont want to go well over on components the graphics card is an exception with the processor I was recommended with that over the AMD 9590. I would say the budget is round about 1500 to 2000 But I would prefer to keep the corsair case and would like it all to match colour wise blue&red

GBP or USD?
And the 750D is a nice case anyways, I want one or my own version of one.

GBP also I need a motherboard that could support some oc and the PCI is a must because the router is in my living room and I dont have an Ethernet cable that far

You have the money so why not
You won't need an upgrade for a very long time.

For gaming, this build would give all the performance that current generation components can give. It maintains the blue colour scheme you wanted, the only change you may worry about is the case, the 750D is enormous and directed toward power users. I dont think the 750D is a good spend as you won't fill it unless you water cool, so i put in the mid tower variant that will still have enough space.

My build is a tad stupid, but great for raw power, hence why I think that Buxtyy's build should be the one that you go for.
But the fact that mine has 2 GTX 780 Ti's makes it awesome
