Solution
Don't buy 780Ti now. Wait till Sep when 880 is confirmed being released. It is expected that there would be 10% performance increase in 880 when compared to 780Ti. You can buy the remaining components now and wait on GPU. Also 880 is expected to be under $500 tab which makes it compelling case to wait for that card.

PSU: Seasnoic/XFX/EVGA/Corsair HX series PSU will do the job for you.

Mobo: Asus Hero VII or Gigabyte Gaming 5 series in Z97

Check this build. GPU is included for price reference. You don't need i7 only for gaming. i5 is best suited for gaming only.
