Can this handle anything being thrown at it at max settings without overheating and dying?

You will get decent fps performance in Crysis 3 on that build, but not completely maxed out. It takes at least two GTX 780 Tis in SLI to run that game at 60 fps maxed out. A six-core Intel CPU will also help out quite a bit. Crysis 3 is an extremely punishing game on CPUs and GPUs.
Ditch the Thermaltake power supply for something good and you will max everything at 1920 x 1080. Also there is no reason a high end build should not have an SSD. A ~250GB SSD for a C: drive will make a huge difference in overall system responsiveness.
That is very old DDR3 RAM requiring 1.65v for DDR3 1600 speeds. Avoid it. It will also not fit with your cooler and those showy heatspreaders. Also Haswell will see a noticeable boost with faster RAM.
250GB Samsung 840 Evo is $139.

I think there is a lot of room for budget optimization in that build. Cheaper parts for as good if not better performance overall. I don't like suggesting a 780ti in builds simply because of the price. You can get 95% of the performance(if not better) for 80% of the cost by using a Radeon 290x. As was stated earlier, I think you need a better Psu in terms of quality.
No. Crysis 3 is not a CPU biased game although it can use the extra threads provided by Hyperthreading. Those reviews saying Sli 680s can't handle the game are from the initial release. Newer drivers can add up to a 20-30% performance increase in single titles. No review ever said it needed dual 780 Ti cards.

Then can you explain why my i7 CPU hit 90% load in the "Welcome To the Jungle" level while running the game on Windows 7? CPU usage in Battlefield 4 goes up to about 60%, which is not even close.
A luxury but I will never own another computer without one.
Thermaltake has a reputation when it comes to power supplies. The bad kind. Just like Coolermaster. Although Coolermaster has finally used Seasonic as an OEM for the V series and it's excellent as you would expect from Seasonic. Thermaltake uses terrible OEMs.

Luxury item really, but with this budget I'd tweak things a bit so you aren't spending any more money for it vs. the cost of this current build.
Thermaltake has some nice Psu's, and some very not so nice ones. For that price you can get a known, quality built item from Xfx, Seasonic, Antec, Corsair. Such as: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-ax760 Just a tad more, but it's one of the best Psu's out, period.

A traditional hard drive has a spinning platter in it that is read by a head much like a record player. The drives are limited by the spindle speed 7200RPM being the most common for a performance drive. An SSD is solid state. Nothing to spin. No lag from trying to access information and almost no seek time. An SSD will not only make startups and shutdowns much much faster it really makes anything you click on instant.
A high end build deserves one. Pretty much the best advice you will get right there. I paid almost $300 for my old 120GB OCZ Vertex 2 almost 4 years ago. I paid the same for my 500GB Samsung 840 Evo last November. I have seen the same drive in the $230 range on sale recently. Even at $300 for 120GB it was worth it though.
It will not give you more FPS but load times will be much faster and in multiplayer that gives you a huge advantage.

That system would be able to handle Crysis 3 at 1080P max at 60 frames average. However it can spike down to 40 and spike up to 80. However I do recommend you to change the PSU to XFX or Seasonic as they are the best PSU makers.
Also if you could change that 4tb into a 2tb + 250 GB SSD that would be much better. SSD's do not actually help with gaming performance but they do help increase Load times, boot, etc dramatically. Other than that, you're good to go.

Cooling would not be an issue
You would still have plenty of overclocking space. Also if you want to save some money go for Seagate's 2TB. I've used them they are VERY reliable at very good prices! Also because WD black is from 2010 it gets expensive because of availability? The value of the WD black isn't that great. You could save an extra $80 from getting the Seagate 2TB and having the same performance
