The total comes to just shy of $1700 and basically has everything you need. I selected the bare minimum video card you would need in order to run the programs you described, a GTX 770-it has 4gb of vRAM so it will be able to support multiple monitors. Your motherboard also is SLI capable so that is an option in the future.

Let me know if you have any questions

Cheers and happy building

Edit: Are you building this or are you getting and OEM/re-seller to do it for you? Because if your doing the latter it might be challenging to get your requested specs in that price range.

The only thing I'd add, is replace the DVD drives with a BluRay, silly to have an almost $2,000 system and not have a modern optical drive that will only add $50 to the system. Also add in an external drive for backups and system image for recovery.
