Nope, monitor is not needed. 5760x1080p. Only the computer. And I don't need a new CPU. I want best performance as possible. Thanks for the help

Alright so this would be the full build with dual gtx 780s, you could upgrade to dual gtx 780 tis if you want the absolute best but I personally don't feel the performance difference between the 780 and the ti is worth the extra $200 per card

I went with air cpu cooling since that is what i prefer/know. If you want a liquid cpu cooler there are quite a few good options out there. You could also look into a custom cooling loop but I am not familiar with that. Let me know if you have any questions about the build.

You could also upgrade the SSD if you really wanted to (no reason to though) or if there is a case you really like then you could throw that into the build too. I chose the Fractal R4 XL since it is a quiet, well cooled case.

How do I get everything in the same basket?

You would have to buy from each individual website, pcpartpicker is just for finding the prices and checking compatibility. If you don't want to order from a whole bunch of different vendors, I would go with at least 2 to get the best prices so for this build go for amazon & newegg or amazon & NCIX.

Here's the build you need. The Nocuta cooler works as well as a water cooler but has less noise and cost.

The RAM is low profile so the air cooler will easily fit over them. Also you want the four cards because the Intel 2011 processors have four channels of RAM so it can read all four channels at once for stupid fast
RAM speed.

a nice 250GB SSD for quick booting and is large enough for you to stick your games in there for quick loading and scene changes during game play.

The video cards are critical. You have the best here. With that large resolution you are going to run out of RAM. The R9 290X has a full 4GB RAM. The 780's have only 3GB which starts to make a difference at large resolutions. Plus the Sapphire Vapor-X has superior cooling, quiet, cool, fast, with its vapor chamber over the GPU.

The power supply is huge and of top quality, you will need it if you want to overclock.

Windows 7 because it is the best, Win8 is an insult to us gamers.
