Future Proof Build

Is it a gaming build? Because 16gb is way more than enough for gaming purposes. Also, 3 way crossfire is practically pointless, beyond 2 way crossfire the benefits are minimal (you will be lucky to see a 30% boost in fps, which is pointless anyway at 1080p). You might want to get an i7 4790k if you're spending that much money though.

This monitor is far better too, yes it's more expensive, but with a build like that, getting a monitor that low in price (and subsequently quality) is just a waste of money.

I would also go with this PSU thanks to the 10 year warranty, extra 100 watts (which is always nice), $100 cheaper, and is VERY power efficient (it can rival platinum rated PSUs)...

That is a great build and everything.. but this doesn't help me in any way. I already have my build. I just want to add to it. Not change every single thing about it. Thanks though

Just in my personal opinion, you may want to go with windows 7 pro over windows 8, especially if you are gaming.

EDIT: Also, if I were you, I would go for 2 Sapphire 290x Tri-Xs, they are pretty amazing cards.

The R9 290 is an extremely powerful card, I get 135 FPS on BF4 Ultra. so 3 of them would be amazing for a 3 monitor set-up.
