I want to build this with 2 GTX 780s but I won't have the money for a while. Will the 750 ti work in this build and still be able to run basic games and record them like minecraft?

Note: I'll be adding the 780s in a couple months once I have saved enough but I need a system now and it would be nice if I wouldn't have to throw a lot away

Yeah that would work. Personally I would get an 850w power supply for SLI 780s, 750w should be enough but I am always extra careful with power.

For $110 there is a semi modular seasonic available if you are interested: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ss850am

Obligatory, you don't need the i7 the i5 is a better price/performance for gaming. You will see very little performance difference between the 2 unless you are doing a lot of video rendering/ CAD work or use a program that takes advantage of the i7's hyperthreading.

Edit: To actually answer your question, the gtx 750 ti should work well for minecraft and some recording. You could also consider the r9 270 for a bit more $$ or the r7 265 on the AMD side. I have seen some gtx 750 tis at around 130-140 recently, the r9 270s are quite a bit more powerful for $20 more. Since you are buying a power supply to support SLI 780s the r9 270 might be a better choice.

Also, if you don't need the system right away, you could just wait until you have the full 2k, new GPUs/CPUs will probably be out by then.

I am going to be doing video rendering, streaming, coding, and some 3D modeling once I get the 780s. Also, I need a system as soon as I can get it. Finally, which R9 270 would you suggest?

The cheapest one with dual fan cooling.
This one would work:

Video Card: XFX Radeon R9 270 2GB Double Dissipation Video Card ($156.67 @ Newegg)
