Alright boys. I have posted a few builds on here all that got broken down and rebuilt by you lovely bunch of lads, so, i have thrown my hands to the sky in exasperation. This is the name of the game, fill in the blanks. I will give you the items i will have in my build without exception and you can piece together the rest. Fair. The parts i have chosen namely the GPU`s, monitor, and case are nonnegotiable. Strictly gaming and watching blue ray movies. Lets See what you can come up =)
BUDGET: 3,100-3,200 USD
UNALTERABLE PARTS:
CASE: CORSAIR CARBIDE 540 AIR (BLACK)
GPU: GTX 780ti x 2 REFERENCE STYLE CARDS WITH THE LED GEOFORCE ON THE SIDE.
MONITOR: ASUS VG278HE
BTW:

You have good taste then ;)  lol I love the AX series power supplies. No fan at all when under 30%, means you can even do some browsing and Netflix and stuff without even turning fans on.

That build's gonna be a heck of a beast on 3 144Hz monitors :)  I'm jealous.

Well im very frugal with my money (usually) but ive left a little money away in a fund for this bad boy and was waiting on my federal and state to pay for the rest. which is really just my money anyways , but whatever. I was thinking have about 3700 to spend but i really didnt want to dip further then that i mean its some serious coin we are talking about just for a gaming machine but i figure im still playing on my xbox 360 and enduring bf4 on last gen consoles, ehhh i deserve it =) was wondering quickly since this will be my first build and really my first desktop ive ever owned personally (ive had laptops and family computers) should i go with a RM1000 instead of the 860? i know it will adequately provide for my system as nothing thats ever quoted is ever over 8 usually around 750 but should i play it safe or do you think im cool i am going to be running 7 120 mm fans 4 for the radiator and 3 for the case as well as 1 140mm for the back so that 8 fans... abit overkill but as they are reference style cards it should help them intake cold air and i dont care about noise really as i always rock headsets when gaming. Should i step it up or let it ride?...

They are reference style cards, but the new reference styel (also employed on the 780) is actually pretty quiet and cool for a reference design.

I don't recommend the RM series, as they use cheap capacitors, and with something like this where you have $3k invested, I wouldn't want a faulty power supply taking out the whole system. It may do you just fine, but I wouldn't risk it. The AX860, however, is phenomenal, and extremely efficient.

With the extra money left over you could get you a 3-way set of 1440p monitors ;)
