Yeah, you know -- normally I wouldn't question someone's personal choice to do what he wishes with his money, but then I see this on the OP's list of ordered parts:

"Build Your Own PC Do-It-Yourself For Dummies [Paperback] ($20)"

And I have to wonder whether he knows what he's buying, like at all.

Ok, so my last post was a little harsh and content-free, so here's straight-faced answer to the OP's posted build: your PSU is too weak. The four graphics' cards, alone, will consume a max of about 1072 Watts on the 12V rail.

GTX 780 Power Consumption

Also, if front-facing USB 3.0 ports are your concern, you can buy a HUB that will slot into one of your drive bays.

Perhaps you missed this part.........
They are also claiming solid SLI scaling. As measured with FCAT, greater than 175% SLI scaling appears pretty common. Speaking of SLI, like the TITAN before it, official support will extend only to tri-SLI. That’s ok because quad GPUs from either camp are known to scale very poorly, but so you know, there won’t be official support for quad-SLI.

Just thought you should know, that is a lot of money...

So let me get this right... you are using 2 PSU for a total of 2360W available? In North America and a 120V household system that will pull a theoretical 19.5 amps of power. You have a problem. Normal house wiring has a practical limit of just over 12 amps on a circuit with a breaker set to 15 amps. (Note: 1500W divided by 120V equals 12.5A, the max practical load on a single circuit rated at 15A)

Just how do you plan to power this beast up without the wiring in your walls overheating. And plugging one PSU into each half of an outlet is still putting the total load on one wire in the wall and one breaker.

Your unit is not practical unless you are willing to run new house wiring with 2 paired breakers (such that if one 15 A circuit trips then the other 15A trips as well). And all your monitor(s), scanner(s), printer(s), modem, desk lights, room lights, etc. need to be powered separately from the PC circuit because they all draw current.

You need to do a rethink of the whole setup.
