This is the build I would go with as you don't need a 780ti for gaming at 1080p and when it gets too much for just a single 780, the powersupply is large enough to allow a second card to be put in SLI. Also I selected a better watercooler for the CPU and put in RAM which will be dual channel rather than single channel for better performance.
