If you are talking about the normal gtx 780 then I do not have any doubt for the next 3 years your processor is good but for 5 years I would personally recommend a 780ti

The next 5 years is a bit optimistic for a single core GPU, what is your max budget for the graphics card?

Obviously there's no such thing as futureproof, as not one of us knows what the future will bring. Also, some more information is really needed to be able to offer much advice, such as what resolution you play at? Do you think you'll still be playing at the same resolution in 5 years time?
It's worth keeping in mind that different people have different opinions on what is acceptable performance; for some it has to be minimum 60 FPS, while for others, it's anything over 30 FPS that's fine. This distinction matters, as even now a 780 can't keep above 60 FPS maxed out in a few games (Crysis 3 for example), so how bad do you think it'll be in 5 years time?

3 Years, sticking at 1920 x 1080, I think it'll do very well (the CPU will likely be more than fine), but, depending on what kind of framerates you desire, you may have to lower a few settings as time goes on. While I understand the desire to max things out, there's nothing to be ashamed of in gradually lowering a few settings as time moves on and new games come out.
