Designed it to last through the current generation of consoles.

As long as my 1080p monitor resolution is maxxed I really don't care about quality so hopefully this rig will last me a good 4 years!

power supply is overkill. Save some money get lesser one.

Go for a 770 and sli them in the future in stead of buying a new card. The case I chose is kind of a personal preference but it is more spacious.

Also I've seen the case in your build for $60 a few months ago

I've updated the build but still need to choose a PSU. I am definitely sticking with the 280x, lifetime warranty and 3gb VRAM.

What's a good PSU for single GPU's that could handle an upgrade 2-3 years from now?

depending on what you want to do, you could either stick with that PSU if you intend to SLI, although I would reccomend the RM series such as the one I own, the RM850, or go with something with lower Wattage if you don't intend to upgrade to SLI.
