Hi,
What would be the best set of components for a $2400 computer that could run 1080p eyefinity or crossfire. Please add an os and monitors. Thank!

Well I'd say the motherboard and monitor setup are major overkill. And the H80i I can take or leave, there's far better liquid coolers you can get. And not naming a PSU is no bueno, there's a lot of poorly made power supplies out there. I would go with something like this:

Have a look, I added 3 near borderless monitors to go along with that. You can edit this build yourself quite a bit for eg. Cut down to 2x4 gb ram sticks, cut down to Asrock z87 extreme 4 instead, go with an i5 4670k and OC, cut down the PSU, keep only a 120 gb SSD. With all this you could probably SLI 2x GTX 780 Ti s instead of just GTX 780.

Also don't forget the i7 4770K has been put to Microcenter or overridden. Don't forget.

Then with the difference you can add any monitor and peripherals you want. I'd go with a solid 1440P monitor over 3 1080P displays.
