Is this build good for £1700?

Im hoping to SLI the 780's in the future, would this hold up on 2 1080p monitors for a year or two until i fitted another one?

Plus do you recomend spending a little extra right now on a higher power supply so i dont have to buy a whole new one when i plan on putting another 780 in?

Much better cooler, equivalent motherboard, almost no performance gain from HT, 16 gbs of RAM in case you want to play Star Citizen, MUCH more powerful PSU capable of 2 780s. Newer Phantom case for better airflow and fan placements.

Looks like a pretty solid build that will be future-proof for quite a few years.
