Hello I am about to get some money next week and want to build a new PC and have 3 monitors set up. Games I will be playing Wildstar/Destiny/CoD/Titanfall + more idk yet. I will use SLI later on. I will not be overclocking Because I have never done it.

Now I have never used SLI or multi-monitors before. How would I hook them all up so they can achieve the 120hz+ Also whats everyone using now days windows 7 or 8?

Budget for PC $2,200 give or take some
Budget for Monitors $1,000 give or take some
Here is the build I am thinking about right now if you could give me your thoughts I would hate to mess up on such an investment.

CPU i7 4770k

Better quality psu, also a lot cheaper: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p11050befx
Cheaper GTX 780 ti, higher core clock: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-gtx780tigaming
A 250gb SSD should be plenty for the OS and programs: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/samsung-internal-hard-drive-mz7te250bw
And then get a 1tb HDD for storage purposes: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seagate-internal-hard-drive-st1000dm003
Not quite familiar with the Gigabyte Sniper board, but I know that this one offers a lot of features and is great for overclocking at about the same price: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-z87extreme6
Even though you're not use to overclocking, you should still do it because it's very simple. Here's an inexpensive cpu cooler that can get you started. You should be able to achieve 4.3-4.5ghz: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2

For the monitors, are you set on three 1080p monitors? Why not get one 1440p monitor for better image clarity?

I'm not sure about the monitors really the ones I picked out just seem to be the best ones I found. I have heard gaming at120hz+ is really nice so I wanted to try it, also the 1440p monitors dont seem to have the faster response time. If you was to go for a triple monitor set up what would you choose?

Well, what games would you be playing?
Gaming on triple monitors at 120/144hz is fairly demanding so it really depends on what games you want to play and if you can actually reach the 120/144hz.
I would always recommend a 1440p monitor though because they offer really nice images, especially with the IPS panel.

CoD/Destiny/Wildstar/Titanfall that I know for sure. If I had 2 GTX 780TI wouldn't that be enough?

It should be enough, and if you really want triple monitor set-up then the Asus 144hz should be a good choice. NCIX has it for $230 each right now with a promo code, and I believe it ends today: http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/comments/20jcxg/asus_vg248qe_24_144hz_monitor_28999_20_off_with/

I was kinda looking at the 27inch over the 24inch I didn't want to be real close to the monitors. I have a 27 right now I like the size. I have not used a 24inch monitor before.

What about hooking 3 monitors to 1 GTX 780TI? Do I need anything to do this? I think only way to get over 60hz is with duel link DVI right?

I thought only D-DVI has the power to go past 60hz?
