If it's gaming you're going for, and you're only getting a single GTX 780 on that budget, you're doing it wrong.

I would drop the whole thing and do something like this:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($234.99 @ NCIX US)
CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X61 106.1 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($136.99 @ SuperBiiz)
Motherboard: ASRock Z97 EXTREME6 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($149.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2400 Memory ($86.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($85.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5"...

That gives you $400 for monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

That looks really good to me. Here is what I would pick for the monitor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236294&cm_re=1440p-_-24-236-294-_-Product

If you are stuck on getting a really expensive monitor I would get this one:

You need to add a mouse and a keyboard.
