What's the system being used for?

From what I've heard, the non reference 290x is coming quite a bit later. 

You might as well plan later things will be quite different by then. Parts and prices in general change frequently.

Spending that much and getting such a cheap PSU is a big no. I'd get something quality from Seasonic.

the system will solely be used for gaming, and hopefully non reference cards come out sooner. However, by then I think that the 780 TI will have changed alot.

If you're waiting for the non reference, you might as well plan later. Things will be quite different by then. Parts and prices change frequently.
