This is for playing current gen games and next gen games on high/ultra settings at 60-80+fps on 1 24" monitor will also be used for recording and video editing.

If you know you won't be adding more GPU's, 760 SLI beats a single 780 price and performance-wise. 770 SLI is also an option, although it costs about 150$ more than your current selection. For your RAM, it's always best to go low profile in case you install some bulky cooler later on. I would go with vengeance LP instead of vengeance. The last thing is your PSU - sparkle isn't exactly a well-known, proven company for PSUs, so it might be better to go with a corsair HX850, although what you have chosen seems to work as well. Also, with what you have chosen, 650w would be fine. 850w will leave you more room for expansion later on, of course.

Hope this helps! :D
