Yeah. Did you buy this from a builder? I mean it's a nice build, though I am a bit confused as to why you opted to go with SLI GTX 770 with such a robust display setup. Every other component in this build is overkill, yet the video card setup is pretty modest in comparison.

I built it myself all parts from Newegg except the water cooling
I went with these for the 4 GB VRAM i had planned to use 3 cards but accidentally got the wrong mobo i was going to go with 3 780's but they only had 3 gb vram and i am running 7880x1440

Also money wasn't an object for this build as i had just gotten a large loan for opening my Custom Computers Business. so in regards to the overkill that was the plan since i wouldn't likely ever have that kind of spending money again. this way allows me to upgrade slowly as needed over the next few years

Also needed something to draw peoples attention too when they come in and just to show what i can do for someone should they want me to

Makes sense. What's the purpose of the build? Gaming or workstation?
