Best I could do in fifteen minutes :p  Link: http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1F840B
You don't have to go with it so don't feel inclined. You asked for help and I made an attempt. Total came to $2062. Could have kept it below $2000 but I thought you might want an SSD. That price includes Windows 7, a keyboard, and a mouse. Removing windows 7 would put you at $1962.

Your best bet is to build it yourself, you'll probably save a few hundred. There are numerous guides that show how easy it is. Also, what size monitor do you play on? SLI'd 770s are probably far overkill for what you're trying to do.

Another reason I'm against CyberPower is their awful customer service. I've had two friends order from there and both had total nightmares of an experience. One had faulty Ram and another had a bad powersupply. They were both told to mail it back in a prepaid box or their warranties would be voided. In both cases it took 2 weeks for the box to arrive followed by about a 3 week wait before they got their PC's back. Both subsequently failed again, both videocard issues, a few months later, resulting in the same month+ wait again for repairs.

If it was one incident, I'd call it bad luck, my friends are also not the first or last horror stories I've heard from dealing with this company.

Again, I don't think the SLI is required, but if you really want it:

Great series of CPU's for overclocking. Factory OC'd RAM/Video Card. System will be extreme overkill for just about anything on the market. You could drop a 770 and still just about max out any single monitor setup.

I don't have enough experience with liquid cooling to personally recommend it.

SLI'd 760s is just as overkill. I would recommend a single 770 or a single 780 before any SLI configuration. It's going to be overkill in nearly every single monitor solution. Truthfully, future-proofing is pretty unrealistic. By the time your PC is in need of an upgrade your videocards will be discontinued and you'll be unable to upgrade to SLI anyways. You'd be best off ordering a single card of the newest generation at the time which would probably outperform your 3 or 4 year old SLI'd cards anyways.
