If you want high frame rates in Ultra settings, you will need SLI at that resolution.

Two GTX 770's with the 2GB 256-bit memory bus can do this but they are ham-stringed by the VRAM & bus at this resolution. The 4GB version is more of a gimmick on these cards as multiple tests have shown, they simply don't utilize the extra capacity, or can't. Some games/benchmarks test better than others which may speak to not being the cards fault entirely.

The 780 and 780Ti have a 384-bit memory bus with 3GB of VRAM and will make efficient use of it at that resolution while still giving you room for image quality/effects, like AA.

For the meanwhile, that EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB Superclocked ACX Video Card that you've chosen will serve you very well with one monitor at 1920 x 1080 resolution.

But let's talk future upgrades. Since you'll be adding 2 more monitors to your setup, you're looking to add in another GTX 780 Ti into your plans. Technically you can get by with a 800W unit for a 2 way SLI GTX 780 Ti configuration. But I like to have a little headroom. So if I were you, I'd grab a 1000W unit. You can get the EVGA SuperNOVA G2 1000W unit as low as $139.99 at this very moment. That way you don't have to worry about the PSU in the future.

That would be enough to power dual 780 Ti's but what version of 780 ti are you getting?

That's an excellent PSU as well. You definately take advantage of that rebate. Not everyday can one find a high quality 1300W unit for $159.99.
