First Gaming Build, Need Advice!

[dubblez]

I am doing my first gaming build that I am planning to play on three 23" Monitors, and I have done my research and want to make sure that the picked out parts will mesh perfectly together, and make a nice, fast gaming rig, that is worth the cash, in performance. For example, the graphics card will support all three screens (if I need another?), the PSU has the proper wattage, everything will fit in the case, I will have enough cooling with the case fans, etc. Money is not an issue, but want it to be around this total price. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Drop the X79 MOBO and CPU. You don't need it for gaming. The GTX 680 isn't worth the $100 more than the GTX 670. Same with the Sabertooth for gaming. Not needed. Get an ASRock Z77 Pro3.

what games are you playing on 3 monitors? if its like a MMO or a racing game, i can justify it but if its a fps, i wouldnt bother. the crosshair on 3 monitors is like the size of a small fist

heres what i would get

Alright, I will take a look at that build. But keep in mind, I wasn't planning on gaming across the 3 monitors, although it would be cool if I could, I just want to be able to use all three monitors as extensions for coding and multitasking.

Your build is all wrong. You have a Z77 board and a socket LGA 2011 cpu. That 650w psu isn't going to be enough to push dual 680's and leave you any headroom, and the WD Raptor is a hose job seeing how SSD's have been invented.
