Go with the 4690K and a 290X Tri-X or Vapor-X, much better than any GTX 780.

I5-4690k is more than powerful enough for your means. Also the R9 290x beats the 780 by a small margin but it's not a lot really but since they are damn near the same price I would suggest you go with the Sapphire R9 290X Tri-x. If heat is an issue (high ambients) then go with the 780.

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

if you are not recording/streaming your gaming then the i5 is more than enough. Since you are only gaming on a single 1080p monitor you won't need the extra VRAM of the 290x but it does perform slightly better than the 780 in most games like BF4 so it comes down to what kind of games you play and how you play them :)
