This is what I have picked out currently. My main plan is to play Crysis 3 , BF3 mp, BF4 mp, StarCraft 2, Smite, Mechwarrior, Blacklight, Planetside 2, Witcher 2, and Witcher 3 all near ultra settings if possible. I have 100 or so for slight updates to the list. Case I am getting from Grandparents when everything else is figured out, and probably 80-120 for it. Sli and 3 monitor setup in future very wanted.

I also do IT work on the side, and some coding.
The Pc probably wont be bought till mid-February anyway, so if something is coming out soon let me know (aka GTX 870 or such)

I am coming from a e8400, gtx 560 1gb and 6gb 1333 ddr3 ram. That is staying for a spare pc.
 
I found the 8gb or (2x4gb) of the memory, and i switched the 760 for a 770 4gb. I am buying this or something close to it in the next week or so.
1. Can I get any advice on what case to get. (must have room for sli 770's and 3-4HD and 2 disk drives plus room for air cooling.)
2. Plan is for 770 sli for a 5760X1280 (3 monitor setup) are they enough power?
3. Do i have enough power for that in the 750 watt PSU, or should I change that to a 850 watt one.

No, I was looking for explanations, your system is not faster all around, the monitor has worse response time and the ram is slower.
 
Intel cpu's don't get affected much by ram speeds. Only the IGP of Intel and especially AMD benefit from the faster ram. Only GTX 770 is far better than a 760. You wouldn't tell the difference in the response times on the monitors.
 
1. NZXT H440, NZXT Phantom 630 or 530, Corsair 750D, Refine R4, Corsair 760T
2.Depend on what games. Most game you will get 40-60 in High or Ultra
3.Get a solid 850W PSU like something from seasoinic,XFX, or corsair
