This is the build I came up with and I really want your opinions on it since it's my first build and I don't want to make some stupid mistakes. Just give me the cold hard truth about the build and please tell why you thinks so :)

There is a two things I want from this build;
- Be able to play most games at high/ultra settings
- Have it to be "future-proof" so I don't need to change much the next 3 years or so.

A final question. I have no idea what PSU i should use or how many watts it should have. I choose Corsiar, because it looks pretty solid. If I should changes it please tell me so.

Thanks in advance!

I would recommend one of these power supplies. The CX are not great quality and often the good corsair units cost more than comparable PSUs.

Power Supply: XFX XTR 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($79.99 @ Newegg)

Power Supply: XFX ProSeries 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($89.99 @ NCIX US)

Power Supply: EVGA 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($95.99 @ NCIX US)

Edit: Also, you should probably get a Z97 mobo instead of a Z87 mobo to make sure that it supports the Haswell Refresh CPUs out of the box. If you stick with your current CPU/mobo you may need to flash a updated mobo bios to get the CPU running.

NOOOO! do not get that SSD!!! its speeds are not as advertised! i learned the hard way. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BQ4F9ZA/ref=twister_B00C9UFTGO grab this it is more money, but worth it. the gpu will have no issue running any game at ultra. i have the 280x and i can easily run most if not all game i play at ultra. the 780 is better than mine, so you should be fine.
Get a different psu, the cx is not high quality, it isnt bad but it isnt good, i am buying a new one to replace the one i have, i just want to be safe. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cmpsu750hx this is twich the price, but you get quality, and it will let your components last longer bc of better efficiency in the power delivery, and it is better build quality too.
