if 1000€ is a must I would change the gtx 780 ti to a gtx 780 which is a damn good gpu.
recommended gpus versions would be:
Msi gtx lightning which own good factory oc and cooler.
EVGA Superclocked ACX cooler good factory oc and cooler.
gigabyte windforce 3x better cooler and good factory oc.
ChillX Herculez 3000 better cooler and oc than the others but a bit loud.
(that's if prices are same as in us...)
you can add another gpu later in sli and there you will have a monster for years to come.
if so this psu would be best choice:
