I would suggest getting a cheaper monitor and then getting a Sandy Bridge-E processor, other than that looks pretty solid. I would definitely get some more case fans though, with those two graphics cards in SLI blowing hot air back into your case heat could become an issue, definitely at least put a side fan in, maybe even a fan on the HDD cage (I have one there even though its purpose isn't to cool my HDD, it's to increase the air flow in the lower portion of my case)

That was the cheapest monitor I could find that had a res of 1440p. Is it worth it to get the energy saving cpus?

Also the Haf ( high air flow) is made for getting rid of hot air and the case does already come with two fans

Ah, you specifically want 1440p. ok then that makes sense. As for the CPU, it still does have some improvement over the Ivy Bridge ones, and the 1155 socket is now dead so it would be pointless to go with them when Haswell is the same price. I just personally would go for a more powerful CPU (Sandy Bridge-E) versus a 1440p monitor. As for the case, I know about it, I have it (look in my signature) and having the side fan as well as the extra fan on my HDD cage has dropped my temps by an extra 8-10C in my case and that's using a single card. With two cards with that style cooling system it would make a world of difference.
