Hi Guys, any advice on the above - I have yet to purchase this setup and am looking for possible improvements/ replacements.

Both sets of drives will be setup as separate RAID-0's, OS & installed games on the SSD's additional data on the HDD's

If someone could also advise specifically regarding the monitors, id like to have a 1440p at some stage however i would also like to attempt an eyefinity setup - will the above allow for that?

Is it worth putting in any more RAM than what is there?

Anything else you guys can recommend in regards to this build would also be appreciated =)

Can I have one of these?
Apart from personal preferences & subtle swaps, I think you're pretty much maxing things with this build by today's standards (and for some time), as you'll already know by your component choice.
If you've done all the usual Google research on the effects of CPU, Memory and multi gfx scaling on gaming (this isn't just an uber gaming build, of course) then you should be pretty confident in your selection. Of course, there is some overhead built into this in some of your choices (memory, SSD capacity) but these will do you well for the future.
Multi-monitor set-up/screen resolution/gfx horsepower required......have a good check over some search results to get a good understanding of performance hit (especially at >1080p per monitor). 2 x 780 Ti should stand you well, though. Of course, being a 'PC' these can easily be adjusted down the line if required/to suit.
Enjoy your build.
