4,520
i7-4770K-$320
ASUS MAXIMUS VI FORMULA-$300 (if you find an alternative make sure it is black and red, watercooling supported and it will look good in my 750D)
ASUS ROG Poseidon GTX 780-$600 ( I will add a custom water cooling loop later)
ADATA XPG V1 16GB-$155
Samsung Evo 250GB-$140 (boot drive and will store some programs and games)
WD Black 1TB-$85
AX760i-$185

If you want any more info just ask.

Legenda in Aeternum
SR-71 has the right idea in losing the Poseidon and going with the straight 780, they OC well, have 2 in SLI and have over a 20% OC and haven't really tried, just cranked it up and ran some of the 3DMark benches, scored higher than 99% of other similar systems
