Ok, so with a lot of people here, I am looking to build a new rig for playing PC Games from World of Warcraft to Battlefield 4 to whatever else might strike my fancy while live streaming. I also want to be able to handle heavy multitasking(running photoshop/dreamweaver/itunes/skype/Chrome with multiple tabs) without any bottle necking... Now AMD is not a option for me because I have not had any kind of good luck with AMD in the past and my current Intel i7 system is experiencing multiple component issues and really just ready to move to SSD with all around better performance and no hiccups or bottle necking of the components. I have a prefered preference of not having to order from multiple vendors for all my parts and so far the only thing I am dead set on is the case and OS.
*edit*
$2000 Budget
Multiple GPUs is a option
Cooling is very important
Would like fully modular PSU
BluRay drive
*/edit*
Case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
OS - Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate.(already have)
Things I am wanting to be able to consider in the future is running 3 identical(same brand and size) 1080p full hdmi monitors.
Things from current build that will be used until replaced will be two current 23.5 inch Acer 1080p monitors(getting replaced), Razer Anansi keyboard(getting replaced, but sticking with Razer), Razer Carcharias Headset(getting replaced, but sticking with Razer) and Razer Naga 2014(will be keeping).
Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated and look forward to discussing this build with anybody who replies.

$2000 for the guts and Dual Video Cards would be a option now. I know the case is big and can house radiators... I'm getting ready to embark in 4 years of college so its something I need to last and cooling is going to be something i also want to focus on . Sorry for not specifying that in orginal post.

my evga 780 classified running 1.3ghz on the core comes very close or matches some peoples unigine heaven/valley scores with their sli770s, im guessing they are near reference core speed. unigine benchmarks have very high sli scaling percentages, some games do not and can be as low as 75%, some older games dont even support sli. skyrim is a game that doesn't react well to sli/cfx. going with one single powerful card now that may be slightly slower is the smarter route. sli780s on the other hand, there is no single card that can come even close to their performance for $1000. a 780ti kingpin with $350 worth of 240 rad d5 pump and ekwb block running 1.6ghz can come somewhat close to reference 780sli 867mhz core speed though.

well thats a beast of a system.. you could opt for a much better cpu cooler than the hyper 212 but for $30 it will get you a modest overclock for now and later you can decide if you want a full custom loop and to include a block for the gpu. but if you throw a second 780 in there you will have a 4k ready gaming system.

One thing I would change about that build, that I forgot to mention earlier, is to change the SSD. The Crucial M500 is one of the slower SSD. For the same price, you can grab the PNY XLR8 Pro SSD that is faster: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/pny-internal-hard-drive-ss...

head to head against the evo their fairly even especially in real world applications. for the price it cant be beat given crucial, intel, and samsung are the big three well trusted ssd suppliers. admittedly, the pny is priced very aggressively though, has a great warranty, and is likely a quality unit all around. i just go with my gut and generally only recommend intel, samsung, or crucial for ssd unless someone really needs that extra $10-30 to net them a higher tier gpu or other component.

-Cheaper RAM, also lower latency for better performance.
-Better motherboard at the same price. The ASRock Z87 Extreme6 is a higher end board that even comes with front panel USB 3.0 hub and it has more power phases for better overclocking.
-Cheaper psu, still high quality and enough for SLI.
-Removed the blu-ray drive. A regular optical drive should be plenty.
Now I did change the case as well. The HAF X is a good case, but it's out-dated and there's better, newer cases on the market for the same price or cheaper. If you want the case to last a long time with good cooling, the Corsair Air 540 is one of the best options out there. It's a huge cube case, but if you're fine with the size then it's a great case for you. It's unrivaled in it's cooling capabilities as there are no hard drive cages or anything to obstruct the airflow. You can fit a total of 6 120mm fans (3 on the front, 2 on the top, and one in the back) in the case. It is something you definitely want to check out.

And if you look at the other results in that review on page 4, 5, 6, and 7, you'll see that the M500 ends up near last most of the time. Also, if you look at Newegg's site, you can compare the advertised speed of the PNY and Crucial.
Crucial:
Max Sequential Read
Up to 500MB/s
Max Sequential Write
Up to 250MB/s
4KB Random Read
Up to 72,000 IOPS
4KB Random Write
Up to 60,000 IOPS
MTBF
1,200,000 hours
PNY:
Max Sequential Read
Up to 550 MB/s
Max Sequential Write
Up to 520 MB/s
4KB Random Read
Up to 85,000 IOPS
4KB Random Write
Up to 85,000 IOPS
MTBF
1,200,000 hours
As you can see, while the PNY only reads a bit faster and you probably won't notice the difference, there is a huge difference between the writes.

Blu Ray drive is because I spend most of my time in front of my pc and don't have a blu ray player of any kind, so wanted it for new rig. The case I have selected because I like the amount of space i have to work with on the inside. I hate feeling cramped when putting PC's together, and prefer full size cases to the mid size cases even though mid size cases tend to look better. I am willing to do some research and look at this cube case you suggested so its not something I will write off right away.
Better for cheaper price is always good in my eyes. Will be doing research with everybody's suggestions to see what will be the best fit for me and will continue to monitor this thread for more spec suggestions from you guys. You are all awesome and I really appreciate all the quick response.
*edit*
Also if I added a second 780 gpu is there anything on your list Nikoli that would need to change? What about you Realchaos?

So after playing around with that website, I came up with this... I need to find a better heatsink cooler because one that was suggested to me isn't compatible with the Corsair Air case, but I do want to optimize cooling on components so after seeing the full inside of this case it does seem to be the best choice for me so thanks for recommending the case Realchaos... Can anybody think of something to add to this list to help with cooling besides fans? Also I know I'm over budget on this, but as I stated, don't plan on making any changes till I finish college so don't mind spending the money now.

You don't need 1000w for this build; a quality 850w should be plenty for SLI 780s. Also, the RM series aren't that great compared to some of the better quality psus on the market. Take the Corsair HX850 or Seasonic X850 psu listed above. Both of those are better quality and enough for your build.
I wouldn't really take the WD Black 3tb drive, mainly because it's not worth the money. You can get a Seagate Barracuda 3tb drive for ~$110 and they will practically perform the same. The WD Black does have any extra 3 years warranty though, so if you think the longer warranty justifies the cost then you can spend the extra premium.
