There you go. I would recommend getting R9 290X (at least when decent custom cooling solutions are released) instead of 780 Ti if you are looking for the best value for your money.

Black is more performance oriented than Blue. Either choice is fine; you won't notice a huge difference between the two especially if you keep most of your games on the SSD.

1000W is overkill for the setup you want. Even with overclocking both the CPU and both GPUs, you will not come close to overtaxing a good 850W PSU.

There is little difference between windows 8 and windows 7 for triple monitor display.

850W should do u fine in 2-way SLI with some LEDs. You might consider upping the capacity on the EVO so you can accommodate more games (i.e. AC4 is nearly 25GB alone). I would say that a 250GB EVO would fit the bill for such a build as this. It would up the price, but it would allow you more breathing room for game storage in the future.

Can't really comment on multiple displays as I don't use but one.
 
Get a 250GB SSD for $150 instead of a 120GB that you have to worry constantly about space on for $100.

Personally, the performance difference between a GTX 780 and a GTX 780 Ti isn't close to warranting the $200 difference.

EDIT: Sorry, I caught that I necro'd this. I really hate the new forum format. It's hard to find things and recommends dead threads.
