I've been doing research for quite some time, thrown out many build ideas and found one I think I may stick with. I'll be using it for some gaming, some programming and various mucking about. I'm aware the build is probably a bit overkill in some areas, but I plan on keeping this build for 3-5 years so I really want it to last.

Opinions/suggestions would be appreciated.

*May go sli 780 in the future*

Its pretty good don't go with cooler master for the PSU, they are not very good. I recommend XFX, corsair or seasonic. Another thing I will suggest, and this is just a suggestions, is that you look at the radeon 7990. It is the same price as the 780, but performs a good bit better(15% or more). It will run a bit louder and maybe a bit hotter too though. I also notice you have 3 monitors. The CF issues have been mostly sorted out for 1 monitor but have not yet been fixed for multiple. It should come soon, but that's a big negative. It comes with an amazing 8 free games though. In any case I just wanted to make you aware of the option! It looks btretty good to me! Hope this helps!
