Why all the different HD's? What are you trying to do with all the drives? I'd look at a 850 SSD. Newest and faster.

What are the 2 monitors for? Gaming? Go for 3. Split screen sucks, the bezels and split are in the middle of your field of view. Go 3 monitors or 1 1440p monitor or something. Some nice 21:9 aspect monitors.
