You decide: http://anandtech.com/bench/product/855?vs=854
Your build has many issues:
PSU is complete and utter trash. Get a unit from antec, XFX, Corsair, sEasonic.
That CPU cooler is worse than the stock cooler.
Why a z87 motherboard with an i3? You won't be overclocking.
Get an fx-6300 because those GPUs you are looking at will bottleneck on an i3 in mane games.
Get 2x4gb RAM

This build is much better an more reliable.
You can look at the GPUs side by side for yourself here.

Why a z87 motherboard if the build will not allow for overclocking. Money could be saved by getting an h87 board.
That is also a poor comparison of the GPUs. http://anandtech.com/bench/product/855?vs=854 here is a much better one.

For one he has a right budget. The goal here is to build an excellent foundation for upgrade later so the computer as a whole will last longer. Replacing the CPU is a lot less expensive than buying a new computer. Also, the Z87 chipset is a faster chipset regardless of over clocking.
As for the comparison, it is actually pretty accurate. You realize the only real difference in the two's performance will be in numbers right? You won't be able to detect a real difference. Some games program towards AMD, others to Nvidia.

That CPU cooler is not good. It will not cool as well as an air cooler even.
These are VERY mismatched.
Get 8gb RAM minimum for this kind of build.
1300w is VERY overkill and will need to be replaced in a few years when you add a third card anyway. Get a 750-850w unit for 2 cards, then many years away when you add a third, get a 1000w max.
If you want to use more than 2 gpu's you will need the i7 not the i5. BUT, 2 gtx770s will be more than enough to max any game for a LONG time. 3 cards would be VERY pointless.

I was able to create a build that meets in the middle for you.
I changed the PSU to a slightly lower wattage that should have you covered for 3-way SLI and overclocking.
Gave you a good liquid cooler.
Gave you more RAM with only the clock speed you need.
The PCI-E wireless card will run WAY faster than the flash wireless adapter.
