I'm going to overclock to 4.4Ghz or 4.5Ghz,I'm going to use Dual SLI GTX 780,
I'm going to use a single monitor,
I'm going to use a 120Hz Or 144Hz Monitor,
And I'm going to use a 2560x1600 or 2560x1440 Monitor.I'm gonna play games like
The Battlefield Series,The Far Cry Series,The Crysis Series,
The Assasins Creed Series,The Batman Series,And The Grand Theft Auto Series.
The CPU Specs I'm Looking for is A CPU that can overclock as high as 4.4Ghz or 4.5Ghz with Air Or Liquid Cooling,
A CPU that is future proof for maybe 1 or 2 Years Or Longer,
And A CPU That the Ultra settings will last for 1 or 2 Years Or Longer (Yes I know i put a Spec Similar From this one).
Also tell me if i did a good or bad job a paragraphs.
I'm not good at doing PC Paragraphs but I am good at writing Paragraphs.
Sorry Had to Repost for the category i put Graphics & Displays
and this is a CPU question and people tend not to Answer cause
I put the wrong Category.

For a single 144 Hz 1920 x 1080 monitor (there are no larger resolutions at 120/144 Hz), Id recommend two 770's in SLI as it pushes out 60+ fps on every game there is. case below is designed for water cooling but I went with air in case ya wanted to start that way and WC would be a thread of its own .... about $2600

Case - $250 - Enthoo Primo http://www.phanteks.com/#&panel1-1&panel2-1 (US Release Date September 3)
PSU - $130 - Corsair HX850 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139011

MoBo - $300 - Asus Maximus VI Formula http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132038
CPU - $340 - Intel Core i5-4770k http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116901...

Well first off, I don't think 120/144Hz monitors are made in that resolution (yet). In theory, the 4670K should be sufficient, especially when OC'd, however, the benefits of the 2011 socket and future upgrade path leads me to recommend the i7 3930K. And if you spend that much on a graphics setup, you may as well treat yourself to a kickass CPU.

If all you are going to do is game, and you are only looking at Intel, go with the i5 4670k.

It will be fine for several years yet, overclocks great, is reasonably priced.

If you want to spend more, skip the i7 4770k and look at an Intel 6 core. The reason is Hyper Threading is wasted on gaming. But the extra cores will not be a waste.

Any one of those processors would give you great gaming performance. The 3930K is not going to provide much of an advantage for gaming over the other processors. The extra cost will not buy you more gaming performance, but will provide you with extra cores/threads for video and audio recording and production. But that's not why you're building this system...

If your goal is gaming, I'd be inclined to choose the 4770k for the bit of extra speed.

None of these processors is a spectacular overclocker because they run on the hotter side (unlike the gen 1 sandy bridge).

You'll definitely get a couple of years out of it paired with the 780s.

Those video cards have you covered with high framerates, but unless you're one of the lucky ones with your overclockable 2560x1440 monitor, you won't get 120 or 144Hz out of it (as someone alluded to earlier).
