Hi all, I am about to purchase a new custom pc and would really like you input on what I have put together before I finally make the plunge!

Oh also my main problem is I'd really like to have three monitors running with this, but that's where I get stuck.

Ok so below is what I'm look at:

Processor: Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Processor i7-4770k (3.5GHz) 8MB Cache

Motherboard: ASUS® Z87-A: ATX, USB3.0, SATA6GB/S, SLi, XFIRE +

Memory: 16GB KINGSTON DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz (2 x 8GB)

Graphics Card: 4GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 770 - 2 DVI, HDMI, DP - 3D Vision Ready

Hard Drive: 2TB SEAGATE ST2000DX001 2TB/8GB SSHD 64MB HYBRID DRIVE

Power Supply: CORSAIR 1000W RM SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET

Processor Cooling: Corsair H100i Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler

Would like your feedback on what I should add or maybe take away?

I think you should consider a GTX 780 or 780 Ti if you are looking to run three monitors. Also the 1000w PSU is overkill, unless you may potentially go SLI down the line. Otherwise not only will it cost you more up front, but your comp will be less energy efficient.

Do you think a 750 would do it or just go down to an 850?

The 780 ti is quite a lot more expensive, would it bring much more to my setup?

Also I have chosen a hybrid drive, I was going to have a normal hd and an ssd do you think with would be better?

I think a 750 would be fine, but if you do go SLI and overclock, it would be closer but probably still alright.

Yeah the 780 Ti would be several hundred more, I don't know enough to know whether the difference between a 780 and 780 Ti would be worth it as far as multiple monitors are concerned. What do you plan on doing with the three monitors? If it's just to put up browser windows or word processing, I think the GTX 770 will be fine. If it's for gaming or graphic/video design, it will be extremely stressful on the GPU. You'd be looking at around $150 more for the GTX 780.

For the hard drive, my preference would be to put the OS on the SSD (+ frequently used programs/games if they fit) and the rest on an HDD as opposed to everything on an SSHD.
