This is my first time building thought i had some good parts but from what some people have told me ive overkilled for use. Heres my list id like advice or revisions. Im a gamer and would like the pc more built where its more graphically able to handle most if not all games on ultra. im only doing single monitor but if i can do more than one without dropping fps under 60fps ill consider it. though i would like more than one monitor.

The parts im looking at right now:

CORSAIR XMS3 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model CMX8GX3M2A1333C9

SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE750BW 2.5" 750GB SATA III TLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 240mm

CORSAIR CX series CX500 500W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8350FRHKBOX

Creative Labs Sound Blaster Zx soundcard (this part is a must and by that i mean a sound card in general with 5.1 surround sound because of the astro a50s i have)

ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

EVGA 03G-P4-2888-KR GeForce GTX 780 Ti Dual Classified w/ EVGA ACX Cooler 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 SLI Support Video Card (this is what i meant by over kill id like to keep it but if someone has something cheaper that works just as well id like to hear but otherwise id like to know about suggestion to parts that compliment this card so it isnt slowed down ima newb at this but i do know a graphics card cant be the only good part in a computer)

Rosewill THOR V2 Gaming ATX Full Tower Computer Case, support up to E-ATX / XL-ATX, come with Four Fans - 1 x Front Red LED 230mm Fan, 1 x Top 230mm Fan, 1 x Side 230mm Fan, 1 x Rear 140mm Fan

I have about a 2k spending limit though i can go above that by maybe 300 or so dollars so ive got a little room. any and all advice would be very much appreciated.

Wasn't sure if you needed keyboard, mouse, monitor or OS. Build can be modified if necessary.
 
Solution
The manufacturer is Super Flower? Yeeeaaahhhhhh no thank you.

I usually don't trust a PSU until I've seen it hooked up to some expensive-ass equipment and had its stability and max load tested.

That being said, it looks like it scored well with the reviewers. I wouldn't trust it if it was only one reviewer, but JohnnyGuru, PCPer, Silent PC Review, and Hard OCP all liked it.
 
Here's a way to cut costs:
