Blue screen on startup

[Shawn23]

So I have had a first gen i7 extreme with an old dell motherboard until today when I purchased a new case as well as a new motherboard and processer. Everything else is the same. When I boot up the computer it gets as far as the Windows 8 logo screen with the spinning circles then it blue screens and restarts and repeats the cycle until I manually turn it off. Does anyone know how to fix this because I'm clueless, help would be much appreciated

That's because you changed the hardware, so the OS on the hard drive is struggling to load.
I'd recommend backing up the data that was on ur C:\ drive (also program data, like firefox and chrome bookmarks, savefiles and so on), then re-installing a fresh OS on the same partition.
I don't know any other way to get your current OS working.

So I put my old pc back together with its original parts, is there drivers that I can download for the new motherboard/cpu so it recognizes it and doesn't mess up? I have a gigabyte z97x-ud3h, and an i5 4690k

Also I have a 600 W power supply and a gtx 650 ti boost. Is it possible that I don't have enough power?

I don't think it's a problem with the PowerSupplyUnit.
It's just that thing in windows... major changes in hardware (like changing the motherboard) will render it not working.
You can get it to run on the new motherboard, but I believe that's overkill. You'll have to run sysprep to remove all hardware drivers and it sometimes fails.
You can check the steps written by "hang-the-9a" for it
EDIT:
or check this guide that has pictures too
.
But believe me, this will take alot of time and could fail. The proper way (IMHO) is installing a fresh windows.
If you have free disk space and you have the disk partitioned into a system partition (C:\ for example) and other partitions (D:\, E:\ and F:\), then I can guide u through backing up all application data and user data. After that, you can format the C:\ drive, and install a fresh copy of windows on it, then u can install the drivers and user apps, then restore ur user data and app-data.
Even if ur disk isn't partitioned, I can help u partition it.
