So as of now I'm running on a i5-2500k CPU with 8gbs of ram and a radeon 6850. I really need to upgrade and i talked to a few friends and got some parts together and i thought i was all set, So as stupid as i am i ordered all of the parts and i now regret it fully. So here are the parts i ordered down below.

I looked up some reviews on the GTX 770 Classified and i noticed that it is completely not worth the money, I saw The gtx780 benchmarks and was very shocked on how much it beat it in every way. Now since i ordered all my parts and they are coming tomorrow. Aug, 6th 2014 i don't know wether i should build the computer or send it all back and save up a bit more money and go with either a gtx780 or a gtx780ti, i play on dual Benq monitors at 1920p x 1080p. So please tell me what i should do!!! Either build me a computer on pcpartpicker under 2000$ or tell me what i should do about the Graphics card situation. Thank you so much.

Its going to be a massive upgrade to the current system, and you are better suited to SLI later.
I would use the rig as is. Though classys arent the best card to get (for the price, their performance/quality is good) they do work well in SLI due to the 4gb of Vram.
