Will a Asus P8P67 LE mobo support the following and work well:

i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155
EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video
CORSAIR TX SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE
128 Samsung SSD pro 2.5 for boot
1tb wd green
corsair h100i cooler
16gb Corsair vengeance ram
Windows 7 pro 64bit

Not planning to o.c. im super new at building computers. This set up will be for a 1080 streaming gaming while running 2 hdmi tv's and World of Warcraft graphics on ultra. Perhaps crysis 3 later. Apologies for dumb questions.

yes the first PSU is Semi-Modular.
if you are getting one 780 card, then 600W PSU is enough, but if you are getting/planning on two cards, then go for the at least 850W.
and get it from SeaSonic, top quality. if you like a modular PSU, get it, just make sure it has one +12V rail only.

regarding the OC, ya your Mobo is not designed for OC, upgrade it when you can, there are some nice Z87 Mobos around $100.

My apologies! I forgot to post it.

SeaSonic M12II 850 SS-850AM 850W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Semi-modular Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready

I'm going with a 850w and haswell ready since I might update to a Haswell and a Asus Sabertooth in future.

If not, I'm buying a SILVERSTONE Strider Gold S Series ST85F-GS 850W ATX 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply

I think the first PSU is not a full modular for ATX?

P.s. I did think of o.c. but I hear the mobo I have wont handle it, ;(

thank you.

Thank you very much! I'm still new so learning. Working with what I have for now. Any specific cpu you recommend for 1080 streaming? 2-3rd gen i7's?

you are welcome.
since there is no heavy editing nor CPU hungry applications involved, i recommend the i5-3570K. this will be totally enough for you, plus it will save you some money to upgrade the Mobo sooner, and OC the CPU.
