I have enough money for an i7-4770k with an R9-290x or an i5-4670k with a GTX 780 Ti. My only fear is: Will I be making a performance sacrifice by going with an i5-4670k?

R9 290x is a better value than 780ti @ 590 usd. But if you are buying Highend cards, value is pretty much thrown out the window for performance. I7 4770k only make sense for dual gpus since they will be no difference between i5 4670k and i7 4770k in most games due to the lack of hypetreading support.

nope, not at all, however, what do you use this for? and how many monitors at what resolution? if using more than 1 monitor then go for the 290X for the extra vram, if only 1 monitor then it depends on the game (if you are gaming). however, i would still recommend the i7 4770k and 290X.

well, look up the games you play with the 290x vs the 780 ti, they trade blows. however, within the next couple years as games start being able to use hyperthreading, then the i7 4770k will be better. if the games you play get better performance with the 780 ti, then pair that with the xeon E3-1230 v3, it is pretty much an i7 4770 without the graphics, but cheaper.

Almost every single game performs better on the 780 Ti.

All the benchmarks with Mantle show the increase with Mantle negligible.
