For the ram, get this instead
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231429

That GPU is overkill in terms of price.

The PSU is way overkill. Look for a 750 corsair - it will do just fine in a SLI/X-fire setup without costing a fortune.

i know they cost a bit more but i thought that was because of the cooling that they had. But can u recommend a better deal?
Also which one of the mother boards should i get ?

For the video cards I like this:

The 100 you save on the video cards buy buying the above can go towards a better MB that does SLI in x16/x16 mode (which costs more money).
A good MB would be either of the following:

[Why_Me]

If you plan on going with a tri monitor set up, then you want a 3GB card for the extra VRAM. Here's a better board, case with better cooling...better case all around, and a proper psu to push two of those cards. Also I'm not sure what your plan is with 16GB of RAM unless this build is for video editing or something.

[crimson25]

what should i use for cpu cooling? Also if i oc the the gpus would i need more cooling in the case?

 

[Sky03]

Coolermaster hyper 212+ is very popular due to it's high efficiency relative to cost (bang for buck)

For gpus, most already have aftermarket coolers added by different vendors. Just read up reviews between the different offerings. Of course having good airflow inside helps too
