I am looking to upgade and add parts to my gaming rig. I am looking to add a third GTX 660 superclocked GPU and upgrade my 3570k to a 3770k, i am also looking to throw my old 3570k and mobo into my mothers computer to upgrade hers. my budget is around 700 bucks, if i cant get the GPU and third monitor i can get them when income taxes roll around in april not a big deal, main parts would be the I7 and mobo. Should i look at getting the new haswell or stick with the 3rd gen I7. Either I7 will more than likely be a combo deal CPU + Mobo so the Mobo needs to be able to quad SLI and hold atleast 32gb RAM 1600+ Lastly, im also affraid a 750w PSU isnt enough for the I7 and triple SLI 660 GTX, also probably going to need a liquid cooled kit for the GPU and CPU as im already running around 60 to 70 degrees C under loads now, any helpful tips or links to what would be best to use would be greatly appreciated thank you very much!

I don't really suggest doing that because adding a THIRD 660 and going from a 3570k to a 3770k will probably give you a "massive" 20% boost in synthetic benchmarks. I don't think thats worth $700.
I suggest you get the i7-4930k with an x79 board

the whole deal with the 660s is eventually i plan to look into getting quad 660s with 3 monitors having a dedicated vid card for each and 1 for PhysX i play alot of EVE and i multibox that quite much, around 8 clients roughly and i feel that right now my CPU is bottlenecking me for preformance
Alright so its worth going up to the 4770k, now at this point i have a 750w psu, if i dont get the third 660, would i need a bigger PSU for the I7, im running 4*4 gb ram sticks 1600 2 x SLI GTX 660 superclocked and would it be reccomended to get a liquid cooler with the I7 and sli cards?
Which of these 2 would be a better deal,
