Both of those cards will not be able to keep up with the consoles in a couple of years, and major improvements are coming in the next two years

No amount of optimization, secret sauces or fairy dust will be able to close the gap between consoles and those cards.

Never, not even remotly.

The PS4 and Xbox One combined aren't even as powerful at a 780ti...............

I don't even understand how someone could believe something like that.

Which one do you think is more future proof?

The 780ti is going to stay competitive longer. Both will be capable of 1080p thanks to the ability to adjust settings as required. The 780ti will allow you to keep up 60fps for a while, the 770 will most likely start to struggle in the games this holiday and beyond. Again, you can adjust settings to achieve either the higher frame rate, or better image depending on your tastes. All said, these cards will both be perfect if you plan to play in 1080p, and don't mind max settings and decent AA running under 60fps in the future.

If you are planning on 4k niether card is going to perform very well. Most games have to take quite a hit in settings to allow even 30fps at 4k. Games being built for PS4/XBO/PC from the ground up will require medium settings with little or no AA to run a choppy 30fps. 

Personally, like I said before, I would get the 770 now, and upgarde with the left over money to a 970 or 1070 in 3 years or so.
