I will make a three-monitor setup in the future,maybe even 32 GB RAM.
 


In that case, I'd get definitely get a R9 280x instead of a 770. It has 3GB of VRAM, which is better than 2GB when using 3 monitors.

Also, the SSD should be bigger. 128GB will fit OS, programs, and some games. However, if you get a Samsung Evo 256GB you'll easily fit everything.

Lastly, PSU. Seasonic is the top tier manufacturer and I'd get it over the Cooler Master one. It's fully modular and gold.
