What is your overall budget for this build. If you are only gaming, you can get much cheaper parts but have better performance. I would first off go with a 4690K is you are only gaming as that saves a lot of money. I would go Asus for the mobo as hey have some pretty good qualtity products and that one is no exception. Get 8GB of RAM as 32GB is overkill for even video editing. DO NOT go with two 7990s, it is better to just get two 780tis and you'll save A LOT of money there. Most games do not even support 3-4 GPUs so that is all a big waste of money. Everything else looks good. Also, you need an OS to run games and an optical drive so that's another $100 to your end price
