I want to keep the 3 monitor, unless you know a better asus for cheaper.

They're only $45 more each, so a combined total of $90 on your total cost.

Ah, my mistake, I thought you had two 770s.

Well without SLI, you're going to need a powerful graphics card and the only ones in your price range would be a 780, titan, 7990, or 290x. The 7990 ight be the best in that scenario.

Other than that I would suggest two 280x or 2 7970s in CF if you want to go with a multi gpu setup.

Trash that whole thing. Dominator Platinum and X79 do nothing for gaming, and won't even on a 4K monitor. The thing about the Dominator Platinum is that they cost like 3 times more than standard RAM (and do nothing), and with RAM as expensive as it is that's not the place to over spend. Plus you're spending way too much money on fans, Windows 7 (Ultimate is not necessary), and other crap you don't need. The dual GTX 770 is a good idea, but dual 290Xs will be better for 4K. And those monitors you have are 1080P, not 3840 x 2160. A monitor of that resolution will cost as much as the rig itself.

Try this:

- Ditched all the stuff you don't need (fans, 7 Ultimate, HD cable, etc)
- Super Flower quality PSU
- Dual 290X will outperform dual 770
- Better storage solution
- Dropped X79 for Z87 - which will be better for games
- Better liquid cooler

Any reason why you dislike Radeon? The R9-290X offers terrific performance for the price. They can compete against the $650 GTX 780, which is stronger than the 770.
Everything g-unit said is true. LGA 2011 is useless and overpriced for gaming.
The RAM is expensive. Games only utilize 2x4gb of RAM, and the platinum is more expensive while it offers the same performance.
You shouldn't need 480gb SSD. 256gb should be plenty enough if you use it wisely.
There's no need for any case fans. If you buy a good quality case, you shouldn't need extra fans.
There is definitely no need to spend $4000 on a computer. Take g-unit's build, add your three monitors and a SSD, and you'll be at about $2800-2900.
