My apologies for lack of info the first go around.
Recently my video card went out on my older computer and rather than upgrading I would prefer to rebuild since its been sometime.
I primarily use my computers for gaming and compiling code.
My budget ranges from $1000 to $1300 and I'm intersted in purchasing parts tomorrow through next Friday. I don't find that I have a preference on manufacturers, sometimes a part is just bad. I'm familiar with newegg.com more so than the other websites but am not oppose to venturing out to other websites, and I intend to overclock CPU and GPU.
No monitor will be purchased nor software.

Are there any builds that incorporate the i7 and a motherboard suited for sli supporting at least 2 cards (I intend to have three monitors running by spring 2013.
I was cruising the forums and didn't come across any builds that were using i7 processors aside from the high end builds. (Up to $1300 budget)

As BigTroll pointed out and I confirm it, i7 brings no benefits for gaming, stick with i5.

Here's new build, SLI ready, you just have to stick in second GPU, and no need to change other components:

This is better and cheaper than above build. You don't need more than 600w to crossfire two 7850s.

:D It may look cheap but it's better than the expensive builds that have been displayed.
