Mobo: ASUS SABERTOOTH z77 w/ Thermal Armor

PSU: XFX 1050 watt 6x6+2 Pin connectors

CPU: i7-3770k (OC to 4.0-4.5 off the bat. Will hopefully reach 5.0 Ghz in the future ^_^)

CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i (will blow cool air through radiator into case)

GPUs: (2x) GTX 780 Dual SLI (Also will be greatly OCed)

RAM: 16 GB 1600Mhz Corsair Vengeance (2x8GB)

Why don't you wait for the Haswells to hit market? With this budget you'll be able to get a better rig and you'd stay updated. So I'd recommend you strongly to wait for the Haswells.
Other than that, your build seems very nice. Though I'd tell you to go for a sinle GTX Titan for now rather than the 780s and save the extra money and afterwards you may get a second one to sli. Or you can even get a SSD also. Two 780s are huge overkill for now.

I'll think about the haswells, as for right now I still need to make up some more money. The only thing I'm concerned about that is, how the pricing is going to be, which I suspect it to be relatively higher. Also, right now a 3770k can still run games amazing stock with even a 670. My friend is running BF3 on a 3770k stock with a GTX 670 stock, and on ultra at 1080p hes getting ~120 frames average.

About the GTX 780s, after looking at many reviews and benchmarks, they are the best price for performance cards on the market right now. Even so, the dual 780s only costs about 200-300 more than a single titan, while staying cooler, quieter, and performance more than 50% better in dual than a single Titan. And yes its overkill, but I'm also thinking about "Future Proof" as everyone says. At the rate I'm going with this, running games max settings should last me no less than 3-4 years with stock clocking.

Well being honest there won't be that much of a performance boost. It'll be about 7-13%. But if we get lucky we'll probably have the Broadwells using the same socket as the Haswells. So then we can easily move to them without any hassle.
