How is this for a computer

It`s always better to go for 1 very good videocard and NOT 2 slow ones.
1 GTX 970 is cheaper then 2 760`s and the 970 eats the sli 760 for breakfast :p

This way you can always put a 2nd 970 in your system later on:)
 
1 GTX 970 will be better then the 2 760s

Paying the premium for an LGA-2011 and DDR4 ram gives you nothing in gaming/FPS.

Using wifi in generall is going to drop your gaming ability down, using a $5 usb wifi adapter on a $1800 computer should be considered a criminal offense.
In all seriousness though, if you just cant do etherent, then get a 500-600mbps powerline adapter. They run $40-60 and will provide you with much better latency/ping times vs wifi (latency is far more important then mbps in gaming). I know the mbps is the speed but you should look at mbps as the amount it can carry in one trip and latency is the speed. In gameplay you dont need to send massive amounts of data, you just need it instantly
 
No need for that. It won't even add 1fps in games. It is for rendering and encoding.

Forget 2011 CPUs and ddr4 rAM for this build.

YOu would have to get cheaper GPUs if you get an X99 setup so you will get WORSE performance. Look at the build I made for you. That is ideal.
 
It can use 2 GPUs. That is all you need. with a 3rd GPU you barely gain 5-10%. It's pointless.

It will play Crysis comfortably at medium more than likely at 60fps. 4k is still very new and it takes ALOT of power to run games at that res, let alone games coded as poorly as Crysis.
 
Right now you would be paying a huge premium for ddr4 and socket 2011 boards. In a year the cost for ddr4 and x99 will be half, and the parts will likely be better.

There is just really nothing to gain for a home user to spend the premium today on ddr4/socket 2011.
If you do rendering/modeling and that single digit performance increase allows your business to do a few thousand dollars more in revenue then sure.
