You could probably save a ton of money going with r9 290x instead of the GTX 780 and certain changes to processor and motherboard. It is about getting the most for your money.

Might have to bump the power supply up to EVGA G2 1000W or EVGA P2 1000W if you plan on adding another GTX 780 and/or overclocking.

I recommend over provisioning the PSU; a PSU which is running at or near capacity runs hot and it shortens the life of the PSU.

I recommend at least 750W and think that 850+ PSU will not hurt.

Recommended OEMs: Antec, Corsair, Seasonic, and PC Power & Cooling.
