Good afternoon all! So I'm getting prepared to drop 3k on a system, and I was wondering if I could get some final opinions/suggestions on the following build.

Is there a part or two where I'm going a little too much and can use a cheaper alternative? (Note: Pretty sure I'm sticking with the 780TI's unless someone can give me a logical reason not too).
Also, 1: Are all parts compatible? 2: The motherboard is where my primary "I don't know what I'm picking" is kicking in
3: Anyone have the monitor, and/or can give a better recommendation? 4: Will a different Memory make a difference? Is the one chosen a decent choice? and 5: Anything I can possible do without really lowering the quality to shed off 200 or so dollars?
Thanks in advance everyone
Edit: Also! Will this system be easily upgradeable in the future? (Such as when DDR4 is released? Side question: Will systems bought now be compatible with DDR4 to begin with? Sorry for the "newb" question.)
Note: This will mainly be used for heavy gaming.
