Due to the above mentioned end build setup it is pronounced my current motherboard and cpu are not a strong enough pair for what is desired. That in mind, the components you should take into account are below:
Rosewill Blackhawk ultra super tower
1000w OCZ Z series modular 80+ gold PSU
WD 640G 7200 rpm caviar blue with OCZ synapse cache 128G ssd
Viewsonic 3D 23" 2ms gtg monitor ( plan to add 2 more)
Corsair H-60 cpu cooler
16G (4x4GB) 2133 mhz Patriot Viper Xtreem memory cl9
Will involve the addition of 2 GTX 770's or HD 9970's (waiting for release to purchase GPU's
Fairly certain that's the pertinent information, if not i can post anything needed. I have narrowed down everything to only a few comparable items that my experience cannot take any further. Ive got a friend running a 3770k on an ASUS maximus ROG board with liquid cooling capability and in the heart of friendly competition..., nah, I'm about kicking butt! I'd like some info on these pairings of core components to enhance my discrete graphics and blow his mind on the 3 screen rig. So here are my currently viewed part combinations:
it's been said if you are coming from AMD to Intel go for Haswell and pay attn to the heat so i have 2 options with 100.00 differences, both seem to fit my SLI requirement. Ive opted for the core I5 overclock edition for cpu. It seems to be widely recommended in the price performance category for gaming but my only apprehension would be 3d capability and its relation to processor power.

Gigabytes Z87 board at 190.00 on newegg fits my red themed case and lighting and most of the features for my entertainment.

Asus Z87 board doesn't match the red, but has all the bells and whistles but for 100.00 more. Could also drop 3 slot cards in this if I desired.

Either one paired with this processor would fit in the 500.00 range and to my knowledge perform very nicely.
If we drop back to the 3rd gen. I5 processor I picked one 1155 Z77 socket board that fit the bill and held inside my range.

1300+ review 5 star(egg) rated processor...nuff said
as always any recommendations beyond these are very welcome especially considering my concern for the 3D portion of desired entertainment regarding the I5 which doesnt have hyperthreading. Not sure if that pertains to 3D at all but if so the 3770k/4770k processors will cause me to rethink 2 of the 3 motherboards to stay on target with the budget. I'd like to stay with a predominantly red board color and have bragging rights with my buddy but in the end performance is the factor i hold at the top.
thanks.
