I'm building my first rig in January, and I'm wondering what power suply would be the best. I have no clue what the minimum would be, and I want one that will last for years and has enough power to not reach its limit if I want to upgrade parts.

This is my rig;

Also, which one of these 780ti would you pick?

1000W is way overkill for what you are doing unless you are planning to get a 2nd card later. In that case, then you might need something like this. If not, then a 750W will be plenty. The thing is, in many cases "upgrading parts later" ends up meaning "replacing parts later", so you aren't actually adding something - you're just removing it and replacing it. In cases like this, somewhere around the 750W level will be perfectly fine. But only you can answer that question.
As for the price, that seems reasonable for that kind of PSU. I would just make sure to check out reviews on it to confirm the quality.

Yeah, get a 600w 80+Bronze or better PSU, or if you plan on adding a second 780Ti in the future, get an 800w one.
