Additional Comments
I wanna ask u suggestions about a new pc gaming 1920*1080 single TV( I just bought an hisense 39K360) with eventually upgrading it with triple TVs in the future,and an OC for the cpu i5 4670k for running it at 4,2ghz speed(using this speed all the time is going to ruin the CPU faster in time?is this considered light OC? ).I only play racing simulators and I wanna do it with very ultra settings.TY

But then you skimp on the PSU and if you want to add a second one later on you're SOL. I'd go with the Seasonic G series for this kind of build, or maybe a NZXT Hale 90.

I know about the psu but when are you really going to need sli 780ti. If you have the money to buy another 780ti, you also have the money to buy another psu. Plus right now a single 780ti will easily last you 3 years and then you still prbably wont need a sli 780ti. It is amazing how powerfull it is

Well if you're going to spend that kind of money on a rig, you're definitely going to want to add onto it. A 780TI is a pretty beast of a card. But two of them will max out any game for several years. And then if you do that, if you want to add multiple monitors later on, it's very easy to do so.
