I am building a PC and thats what I will geht until now :
Intel Core i7 970 6x3.2 GHz
Kingston HyperX Blu 12 GB of RAM
Asrock Extreme6 x58
Thermaltake M750W
Hyper 212 Evo
Samsung 512 GB SSD

I will game at 1680x1050p
I already got the case and the monitor
The only thing that is left is the GPU,so I want to know
which card is better.
I can geht the r9 290 for around 300 bucks and I can geht the GTX 780 for around 450 bucks

And please don't try to change anything because I will stick with I have got.

More about : 290 gtx 780

the 290 for $300 is the better deal! More than plenty for your resolution.

The GTX 780 is very slightly more powerful generally speaking, but definitely not worth 150$ more.

Good to know :) 
How "future proof" is this system ?

Well more 'future proof' than mine, that's all I can say for sure :D 
It'll probably take a few more years before we start seeing games that hardware like that can't handle.
