Are you going to be doing significant video editing or rendering? If not, then the most PCU you need is the i5 3570K. About the PSU....that thing is junk and you don't need 800W unless you plan on getting another GTX670 (a good quality 700-750W is actually sufficient). Please see my sig below for a PSU guide thread and a list of recommended PSUs thread.

Another thing to consider is your GPU config...SLI or Crossfire is rarely worth it but one of the potential exceptions is when gaming at high resolutions like your mult-monitor config. I'd ask the SLI or no SLI question in the graphics card section for some sage advice; maybe an SLI of 7850s vs the single GTX670...A good quality 650W PSU like the Corsair TX650 can easily handle a Crossfire of HD 7850s.

With your budget I would think that you could spare a few dollars to get one of the 240-256GB SSDs that are regularly on special for $140-150. If you go with the i5 3570K then you can easily fit the larger SSD in your budget.

First, most Coolmax devices are PSU-shaped objects, not safe to attach to computer components if they might be connected to an AC power source at the same time. For a single GTX670, a quality 500W-550W PSU would be sufficient.
Second, the Samsung Spinpoint has cut back to a miserable 1 yr. warranty. Get a WD Black HDD instead; most of those (but not all, so check) still have a five year warranty.
