So this is what I've come up with so far. I'm open to any suggestions and advice.

My budged is about 3-4 grand including the monitors. I'm not sure what to do about graphics. I know i want to go crossfire/SLI but I don't know how to go about it.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Do you really need a bluray drive? It seems kinda pointless - a lot of computers now don't even need a CD drive.

You could afford a way larger and better SSD with that budget - don't skimp THERE.

Don't get a closed-loop water cooler. If you're going to water cool, go all-out. Closed loops perform worse than comparable air coolers, break more often, and are more likely to break other parts in your computer when they do.

It's pointless to get a x79 build in my eyes. It really isn't going to help gaming basically at all - get an i5-3570k instead.

The Sabertooth, of any form, is a complete and total waste of money - the thermal armor is less than worthless (It makes the mobo hotter), and it's way overpriced. Instead of getting a mid-level board with flashy bling, just get a good board.

You don't need anywhere close to 16GB of ram. Yes, I know it's cheap, but that's no reason to waste money. Get 8GB instead - I've never seen a PC go above 7, even when running GIMP, BF3, and 20 tabs in chrome.

Nice pick on the power supply - that's a good 'un.

Do you really need three TERABYTES of storage? It'll give you some issues with windows - I'd go with a single terabyte, or possibly a RAID 0 array if it won't have sensitive data on it.

As for the graphics card, Radeon handles higher resolutions better than Nvidia does. I'd get a pair of 7970 GHz editions. They'll handle everything you throw at them.

Now then. I know that my advice was all to save you money, and I know you have more to spend, but here's the thing. Even if you spend more money, you won't get hardly any better performance in return, and it'll be a LOT more expensive. No, it won't be future proofing - you're actually WAY better off saving that money and upgrading 2 years sooner than planned than blowing it all now.
