New PC Build (help)

[Hydraghost]

Later this year I plan on entering the PC Master Race (finally). I'm trying to build a decent PC build that I won't need to upgrade for a good while in the foreseeable future. I do video production, 3d animation, video gaming, and plan to live stream via PC. With that said I am torn between a few key components of the build here.

Currently I plan on getting

i7 4790k 4.0GHz
ASRock Z97 EXTREME6 ATX LGA1150
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866
Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Corsair 760W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

I'm sure I'll probably need PSU and cooling replacements.

Now for the video cards I am not sure how to approach it

I had initially planned to have a triple monitor setup with either a 2-way SLI GeForce GTX 980 4GB or with a 3-way CrossFire Gigabyte Radeon R9 280 3GB WINDFORCE

I figure it is a bit overkill, but I can go with dual monitors using a single GTX 980 or two R9 280 cards if its more problematic than its worth in part upgrades.

I know both of those combinations will do well, however here is my question.

Would I be able to handle a triple monitor display with the above setup or would I require upgrades to my other parts? I've read that it's pretty much virtually impossibly to bottleneck with the 4790k and a Z97 board.

I originally wanted to go with an AMD themed computer, but after some consideration I think that in the long run an Intel i7 will be a better investment.

Any help is greatly appreciated and I hope these inquiries don't sound ridiculous.

I won't be getting anything until around Fall of this year, however money is not an issue.

I'd say go with the 980 to complement that setup.

MB - The Extreme 6 is nice and all, however the Z97-SLI covers most all of those features at 2/3rds the cost.
CPU Cooler - Nice and all, but from a cooling perspective you are better off with the Noctua NH-D15. Swap this back if you really want to keep water cooling.
MEM - DDR3-1866 CL10 are fine. ...as is DDR3-1600 CL9 (they perform the same)
GPU - Single GTX 980 for now. Avoid a triple GPU setup unless you really really want it! No need for a cramped case, huge PSU and massive heat generation if you can accomplish the same goal with a dual GPU setup.
PSU - The Corsair you listed is GREAT, but it is way too expensive and there are other great PSUs to choose from at that price point. Look first toward XFX or Seasonic. If needed, then turn to Antec or EVGA B2 or Supernova. Gold is fine. Platinum rating is for bragging rights... An 850w model will support a pair of GTX 980 GPUs with room to spare.

It is always nice to get a second opinion, and with a part breakdown along with it. I agree the platinum is too much, that is just oversight on my part I picked something wrong via pcpartpicker and was going to remove it at a later time but forgot to do that.

I think that I will go with either the single 980 or dual 280's to start out, I'm leaning toward the GeForce at this time. I'll have to get in touch with a few people because I'm sure they have some of these parts listed without having to buy from retail.
