Thanks for the quick response, but you bascially changed my whole build. I would like to stick with one gtx 780 and a 1440p monitor. I just want to know if there are any MINOR changes to make in my build which I want to stick with a red/black theme

Why not go for a Core i7 3930K?
You're spending a lot of money anyway.
