Hey, I was given the task of building a PC for somebody and I haven't done it in a few years. This is what I've got so far. (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1mO8F)
Please be sure to inform me if there's anything I'm missing, better alternatives, etc. Also, I'm very unsure on which viceo card to purchase with this set up right now.

$ isn't really a prob. 2 monitors, mean 2 video cards - gigabyte 660ti 2 G GDDR5 overclock are quite decent or ask your local shop for a little better. main chip should be intel haswell 4770k, or at least i7 3770k unlocked/unleashed, 64G sixteen hundred speed RAM, ROG maximus extreme MoBo, and 3rd video card to pipe out to that TV, or wireless, such as a roku box, but you'll still need a wireless router into the tv, for netflix or youtube or porntube etc....

Let me say this first off: He's a person who plays poker for a living, so he's got money to blow. (Drives a sports car lol) so when I tried to push for an i5 and backed it up with benchmarks etc, he just basically told me I have the money to spend on an i7 so get it for him. (I said I could get a PC near the 1KUSD range and he laughed asking me if it could run email.) So money isn't a huge problem for him, but I don't want to go up to him with a 2K USD price tag.

With that being said he is using it for a few things:

Gaming. Wants to play anything brand new for a while, on ultra.
He has 2 monitors, no cable so is constantly downloading movies and watching them. He also has a 40" in the other room that he wants to be able to hook up to. (He said he'd ideally be able to have all 3 running at the same time. Like, a movie in the living room for guests, whilst still being able to do something on his own PC.)
Storage wise, i'm talking to him about his needs. Seeing exactly how many games he'll play frequently, so I can chisel the price tag away with a smaller SSD. Probably end up with a 4TB HDD for media though.
Does not edit any media as which would require an i7. Doesn't render 3D files, none of that mumbo jumbo (to me at least haha)

If thats tl;dr let me know i'll tl;dr it :) Thanks, I really do appreciate any help.

I myself have 2 monitors an i5 and worse parts than his. I don't need 2 video cards, are you sure? And 64 gigs of ram what? i'm not the most techy, but this sounds crazy to me.
