If this is the PS you have in mind, I would select another 850W, perhaps the venders that animal has suggested, they are good.

NZXT HALE90 V2 NP-1GM-0850A 850W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active@0.99(Typically) PFC Power Supply

This PS is made by FSP. Get something made by Seasonic, any Seasonic, or XFXs as all of them are made by SS, some Corsair are also made by them as well as some Antec.

Your set up looks really good. I am not a fan of the Sabertooth MB, I would get either a Z87 PRO or the Z87 Hero. What are the specs on your memory, I feel 1866 @ CL8 are a good buy and OC well.

What is the wattage on your PS, your description is too general? To SLI a couple 780s something around 850-900 would do the trick, in a gold rating and a good brand.

If money is not a problem, perhaps the CM Glacier 240L for a CPU cooler, it is a GREAT cooler and it saves hanging 2 pounds of iron on your MB. You can also expand it later to include your GPU if you want.

Your current PSU is way overkill for your current needs (~575W), and if planning to SLI in the future (~850W). See here:

The recommended wattages do not allow for any overclocking, so if you are planning to oc, I recommend adding 50-100W to the recommended value(s) and get a quality PSU from a top tier manufacturer such as Seasonic, XFX, Corsair (except their CX series) or Antec.
