I am planning on getting the yamakasi catleap monitors
It doesn't make sense to have twice as much money in monitors than PC, sure the monitors will run but you won't get any games to.

Best solution
+1^
2 x GTX 780 maxed out = 500W. That is ~42A on the +12V rails just for the cards alone. Before O/C'ing them. Although, I would be unsure that the GTX 770s wouldn't be enough at 4GB VRAM each. They might just do it. But that is a huge amount of pixel/texels to render per frame.
Three way SLI with weaker cards might be an option. Either way you are talking lots o' $$$$

Do you think a 750w option would be best for this setup?

For 2 x GTX 780 @ SLI? Marginal. I'd feel more comfortable with 800W+ personally. Heck, I have an 850W for my 2 x GTX 660 OC cards. I am a bit of a power freak when it comes to PSUs.

Hey I agree but you kinda suggested that the cards only use 500W, so you agree that either http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=120-G2-100... OR http://www.corsair.com/us/power-supply-units/tx-series-... OR http://www.corsair.com/us/power-supply-units/hx-series-... are all good?

Heck yeah! Good PSU choices. I know I'm being a bit overboard. In all honesty, I doubt a good quality 750W PSU would have a problem with 2 x GTX 780s depending on the rest of the system. That's the trouble... one doesn't know the other +12V stuff in the system. But the card is the biggest power hog followed by the older hotter CPUs. Then water pumps, drives, etc.

This sure is getting expensive. The monitors cost 1200 Dollars, if you get them cheap, Graphics 1200 and Powersupply about 200. Can we please get a budget and maybe recommend one 1440p monitor or 3 1080p monitors.This is why I'm going nowhere near 1440p for the foreseeable future, 1080p will do just fine thank you.

The PNY cards are terrible. It's worth a couple extra bucks on EVGA's ACX 770's but you're gonna need extra memory bandwidth (4GB) to push that resolution constant.

Also why is Nvidia surround so important to you? It cost a lot to run, minimum you're looking at is two grand right now. Monitors cheapest 600, Graphics cheapest 800, PSU cheapest 200 and don't forget desk space, mounting, power and other things, around another 300 at the cheapest, so that comes to 1900 Dollars on the low-end. And if you don't game constantly, three monitors can get annoying.
May I recommend a single card and 120Hz monitor or 1440p Monitor? Your looking to spend half as much for high-end single monitor gaming than low-end multi-monitor gaming.

I'd highly recommend SLI Gigabyte GTX 770 4GB WF's http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CU9GOAO/ref=as_li_q... You will want the added VRAM for your high res setup and Gigabyte is a great quality manufacturer with an awesome cooler.+1 Gigabyte has a good warranty policy, almost like EVGA's. You can tinker with their cards and still be covered.

ok so what about two 770's? or do you think that i would need to get the 4gb versionKeep in mind if you SLI 2 770's or 2 780's you will need a quality 850w PSU
And I agree with the other two above - if you are going to SLI, go the gtx 770 route,
the price diff on the 780's is way too much, especially since you won't notice the
diff in performance.

I can't speak on the quality of PNY, but I know they come with a lifetime warranty. I have a EVGA GTX 770 super clocked version with the Titan cooler. As far as 4GB cards, I haven't seen 1 benchmark where the 4GB cards in SLI beat the 2GB cards. Titan has 6GB, 780 has 3GB, and a 2GB 770 SLI will kill them both. I read many benchmarks and reviews because I wanted the 770 with the reference cooler, and you can't get that in 4GB. After 2 weeks of reading and not seeing any difference in performance, I got the 2GB.

Your prices are way off IMO. I bought 2 23" 1080p Acer monitors for $150 each, so that would be $450 not $600. GPU price is spot on, $400 each. PSU, Seasonic 850w is $130 and would be able to easily power 770 SLI. As far as mounts for the monitor, if you have the desk space, you don't need to buy a tri-mount. I bought a L-shape desk for $150, and will not use a tri-mount, although I did look into them.

Evga offers lifetime including if you remove the included cooler, overclock the chip(and it burns) and practically everything else you could do. The stock cooler is okay but you can find way better heat dissipation/noise with aftermarket coolers. Because the setup will be surround or a very high res, more memory bandwidth is needed to keep minimum framerates decent. 2GB is fine for single monitor but surround SLI setups require more memory.

People say that all the time, but I have not seen 1 test that showed 4GB is better than 2GB on a 770 SLI. FPS is the only thing you care about, not Frame Buffer usage. I looked for 2 weeks, checked all the tests and came to my own conclusions. Like I said Titan and 780 have more memory than 770 and both get smoked at 5760x1080p FPS. They might use more Frame Buffer memory, but that doesn't matter if they are not moving it out and just storing it. Link a test with 4GB card performing better than the 2GB in games I would definitely like to see it.
There is a test that I linked that had Titan & 780 performing better at 5760x1080 in a couple games, but they weren't playable way less than 30fps on all cards, but Titan and 780 had highest FPS. That could be due to drivers for those games I would imagine.

The newer the game, the more memory bandwidth used. Memory makes frames smoother and increases minimum framerates. I have used both cards. Benchmarks are only so good for measuring things, experience is more important.

Branflake, I'm not talking about synthetic benchmarks, I'm talking about results in FPS on real games, those kind of benchmarks. Check the link of SLI 770 benchmarks. Titan has 6GB and loses to 2GB 770s by a wide margin. It's a combination of things, memory total isn't the only thing. 2GB 770 SLI only uses 2GB of memory, not 2+2 and it easily beats the 6GB Titan. This is from many results I have read. Nowhere have I saw different.
