If your game of choice is BF4, then I'd suggest an R9 290 instead of the GTX 780, taking advantage that in the UK the prices haven't skyrocketed, specifically this one:

For £50 less you should expect better performance.

Thanks everyone. I really do love the toms hardware community everyone is so helpful and kind haha. Anyway back on topic I was actually considering a non reference r9 290 but the problem is I haven't really watched/read enough reviews yet on the new non reference cards and I want to build the system ASAP so I am happy spending the extra for the 780 because I know it's a smooth and refined card. I may give it a few weeks and see if some video reviews come through from youtube channels like newegg or tech of tommorow.
