First off -- I really don't care to debate folks here... This is 'my opinion' and what I would do. so if you do it some other way then ... good for you.
It depends on what's your setup & budget. There's no downside to the LGA 2011 and SB-E, and I've yet to find a SB-E that I cannot OC to 4.8GHz easily and 5GHz if you're willing to sacrifice longevity of the CPU.
There's not one what I consider an 'extreme system' that I've built since SB-E that's not LGA 2011. Sure I've built some LGA 1155 rigs but nothing that I consider extreme where multiple monitors and multiple GPU's.
To achieve 3 or 4-WAY SLI/CF on LGA 1155 you need a MOBO with the PLX chipset but IMO they're jerry-rigged LGA 1155's.
My recommendations (core system):
CPU: i7-3930K ; money not object then i7-3960X some gains 0~3FPS *
MOBO: ASUS Rampage IV Extreme (R4E) LGA 2011
GPU(s): GTX 680 4GB vRAM ; 4GB will prevent vRAM bottlenecks in 3xHD resolutions with Ultra settings plus high AA
Monitors: 3D Vision -

PSU: Corsair AX1200 or ENERMAX EMR1350EWT (good for 3/4-WAY SLI)
PSU Options: Corsair sleeved -

SSD: (2) one for boot and OS and one for Steam
HDD: (2) RAID 1
RAM: 4x4GB DDR3-1600 1.35v~1.50v ; faster will only yield 0~3FPS but instability can be the added burden *
* Sure I've used i7-3960X and much >DDR3-1600
