Is this a good build?
That's actually a pretty good build, but you should replace that Blu-Ray drive with a normal DVD burner, unless you want to playback Blu-Rays on this thing.
I read that the power supply is compatible with i7 and i5 will it still work with my i3?
the PSU will work but how about this

$789 because of the case. If you use the rebates it will be within the budget. Or you could go with a cheaper case or lose the Blu-Ray too.
You spend way too much on the PSU, Case and blu-ray disk drive, actually why do you even have a blu-ray drive?
On this budget I would recommend either an i5 750/60 or a Phenom II x4.

Me? Well OP wanted a blu-ray drive.
Actually, I thought about it and took out the Blu-Ray drive.

Get my build then without the Blu-Ray.

Nah I was talking to OP, but if he wants a blu-ray player that then that's fine.
