What's your budget? If it's gaming I would change several things around. Don't purchase anything made by Logisys - terrible products all across the board. You also don't come out ahead purchasing a 1TB SSD - drop that to a 250GB and then upgrade your GPUs to dual 780TIs. I would also swap the PSU for an EVGA P2 and the cooler for an NZXT Kraken x61. I'd also suggest a different case as well.

Budget started at 2500 ish but as you can see that has ballooned a fair bit I don't like it but its at 3500 now. The Logisys are for having a UV lighting mod as I will be using white sleeved cabling that and the purple LED fans this I thought would be a nice effect.

I originally was looking at one 780. The set up I have is a 27" 144hrz 1080p monitor and a 55" 1080p 60hrz TV. Seeing benchmarks in the 30FPS range I figured I needed 2 cards.
