Hi
I think that with this 3 Monitors config you gonna hit GTX 780 bottleneck before CPU botttleneck !
f.e. you will hit 50-60 FPS max on medium Crysis 3 5670x1080 and below 20 FPS on Verry High 4 x AA ......
And f.e. 3 Way SLI GTX 780 hit`s below 30 FPS on Crysis 3 5670x1080 Verry High 4 x AA ......

Consider medium play or 2 -3 Way SLI for the same FPS and High Quality

And also those test i`v linked are with i7-3960x - 6 core + HT = 12 threated CPU

I think you gonna loose 10-15 FPS cause of CPU .....

Have a sweet look on the link i`v send you above .....
Page 39 - How many cards do you need?

I think you will "hit the bоttom " on any single GPU with 3 x Monitor set - if you go above medium settings .....
If you`r fine with 3 x Monitors set and medium settings then GTX 780 and R9 280x will do ....
I think you CPU is not verry proper for 3 x Monitor set also .... you may suffer some FPS cause of it .....
