Again, I am a total newbie at this stuff, so maybe i'm up to my butt-cheeks in alligators with this, but nonetheless;

If I was going to have a Triple SLI setup with 3 GTX 780 Graphics cards, what CPU should I use to not bottleneck it and milk all the potential I can out of it. I am totally unfamiliar with overclocking and related jargon as well, just FYI.

Secondly, what amount/speed/etc of RAM should I get?

Oh, also the motherboard and CPU I had chose (so far) are these:

Intel Core i7-4930K 3.4GHz 6-Core Processor

Asus P9X79 LE ATX LGA2011 Motherboard


Thanks Again!

You'd be better off with Haswell-E as they are launching quite soon according to the rumors (september). I do advise you to get 2 780 TIs for example, instead of 3 780s as SLI scaling after two cards isn't great. If you do however, want to buy everything now, the 4930K is a great choice.
