Future proof build

[BOYRED14]

I just started my computer science and ict in class 10 and i am gonna need a powerful pc i was also hoping to have a good graphics card that will run games on high settings for at least 2 years. my budget is 1250 dollars or 800 pounds pc. If any of you guys have any suggestions please help me out. I would really love to have gtx 780 but it cost 100 pounds more than a r9 280x and i heard both are kinda simillar. Please help me out thank you if you did

Just another thing to think about.

I put that PSU on there because it is a great deal. He can always downgrade to a regular GTX 780 and improve the PSU, add an OS, etc. Also, he didn't specify whether the price included the OS. (I usually assume no OS, but that's just me.)
