Yes, the new extreme editions will only benefit multi GPU setups. Games tend to favour higher clocks and newer architectures rather than more cores that are lower clocked.

This will give you similar/better performance for $400 less. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/NpfNYJ

Or even this for roughly double the performance for the same price. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/bLsRwP

It's the generic pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/

But yes, the build in the OP is quite unbalanced for gaming.
