Hello guys, is this a good build?
Is it also future-proof?

Please, don't say you only need an i5 for gaming...
As a sayed before, this is a future-proof build, and i think the future games need more than 4 cores, like Watch dogs or Battlefield 4.

I also have a 850W PSU, so if its needed i can ad another 780ti in the future.

Thanks!

Other than the caviar black which I would change (No added performance over a Seagate st1000dm003 but almost double the price), this is a great build, I can see you've done some research.

I would drop the GTX780ti, get a GTX780, its considerably cheaper but not so much of a drop in performance.
Cheaper HDD.

With that saved cash, get a 240+GB SSD.

This leaves you with 200$ left over. Save up another while and then you can SLI the GTX780 a lot sooner for A LOT better than GTX780ti performance, for a lot cheaper than you would have had to pay.
