I am building a computer for gaming, programming (C++, C#, Java, Python), web development (HTML, CSS, Javascript), and some light photo editing (Gimp, Inkscape) and video editing (Windows movie maker). I will install Win 8 x64 as my main OS but I may also double boot Win 7 as well. These are the parts I'm considering:

I have a couple questions about this build that I'm hoping you all can help me with:
1) Should I get the 3570K or the 3770K? I know for gaming it doesn't make a difference, but for compiling and development will the 4 extra threads and 2MB more of cache help? I will be overclocking it to about 4.5Ghz or as high as it will go on stock voltages.
2) Will 2 GTX 770s be good for gaming at 5760x1080? I got the 4GB versions because I think the textures will be rather large on three monitors and I don't want to run out of VRAM. Is this necessary or will 2GB be enough? I am going for the kind with two fans, will the ones with blower style coolers have better temps?
3) I was planning on getting a larger SSD to put my games on, but they will take up almost 1 TB from what I calculate. If I put them on the WD Black the only difference should be the load times; will this have a big effect or will it be just a couple seconds more? These are the games I am going to buy on Steam.

4) Will the 850W power supply be enough for these components?
5) How big are the bezels on the Asus monitors? the monitors seem pretty good from what I've read but I couldn't find the size of the bezels. I want them to be relatively small for Nvidia Surround.
