Solution
Well, you can upgrade the MB+CPU next year. If the 4k monitors become affordable and you get one you'll need SLI.

If that makes sense to you then get the 860W PSU after all.

It is enough. It offers 46A, above the 42A recommended for the GTX 780 Ti. It's just that it's low quality and now you've got an expensive GTX 780 Ti there.
You decide if you want to change it. It would be safer, but it's not absolutely necessary.
