OK guys I have some money and want a new build however this is a lot of cash to throw down so I want it to be perfect. I will be running 3 monitors Asus VG278HE 27" 144hz. I will not be over clocking. Games I will be playing Wildstar/Destiny/Titanfall/CallofDuty/ and more. I will be doing SLI how ever I would like to buy the 2nd GPU at a later time.

Some parts I want to use
CPU I7 4770
Mobo ???
GPU GTX 780TI
PSU ??? Full Modular
RAM 8gig 1600
SSD Samsung 840 pro 256g
Case Corsair 760T Full Tower
CD/DVD drive ???
OS Windows 7 or 8?? Whats better?
Also is there a monitor stand that could hold all 3 monitors?

If you were me how would you build this?

I plan to buy another GTX 780TI very soon if i go with the GTX. The one 780TI is just to get me started
 


This is the best build here for 3 monitors on ultra. 4gb vram per card. Good cost to performance ratio too. Just my 2 cents though. You can also go mining with it haha.
