Hi
They state System power supply requirement: 600W
but i`ll advise you to go for 650 -700 minimum !

Also take 2 x 4GB 1600 MHz RAM or 2x 8 GB 1600 MHz RAM

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:
•GeForce GTX 780 Ti - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.
•GeForce GTX 780 Ti 2-way SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 800 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
•GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3-way SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 1200 Watt power supply unit as minimum.

If you are going to overclock your GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.

upgrading your PSU to atleast 700w would be best as the others mentioned and that 780ti would work fine with that i5 but ram would be better as 1600mhz

I was proposing just the opposite, that a quality 600 watt Corsair unit exceeds the recommendation of Guru3D. If you already have the PSU, I would use it and see if it isn't enough. I would be extremely shocked if it wasn't.

Sorry about that I had read the wrong response when I replied to you. I will just go ahead and try it with my PSU and see if it works out.
