I'm pretty sure the engineers at Nvidia know what they are doing. Have a look at the benchmarks.
It depends on how much of a hurry you are in too. I think many are expecting a new flagship card from Nvidia this year.
This power supply with these components should be ok. I wouldn't install more than 4 x mechanical hard drives.
It is hardly future proof though. These cards have only 3GB of VRAM each and in SLI that means an effective 3GB of video memory.
Both AMD and Nvidia have moved onto 4GB for single GPU cards and there is talk of 8GB variants for multi-card configurations.
Unless you haapen to have the 6GB 780 Ti versions, I think you will run into problems with video memory long before GPU processing power.

I'd recommend a 144hz G-sync monitor over 4k and at the most a 2nd 780ti. New Flagship is going to be a $1400 Titan model with no cheaper version until NVidia is forced to, the above listed upgrades will make you happy today you know good deals are out there.
