That's what the wattage rating is for mate, you'll be fine.

 

On a side note, Titans are silly cards and should not be used in a new system. 780ti's make more sense.

Just be aware that those monsta's can fill up the STH10 real quick, I have seen it first hand. You start off with this immense case and suddenly it seems small :P

 

If you have not yet ordered the 560 monsta rads, I would recommend going for 480s instead. It is a lot easier to fit a 480 in the STH10 and gives you ample space for fan cable management as well as tube routing.

 

Lastly, you may want a second PSU to power your rig. With 4x cards and an IB-E CPU, even if the wattage from a single PSU seems fine it won't work out as you anticipated. Get 2x 750W PSUs (preferably single rail)instead of a 1300W single PSU. That way you also get some overhead for good overclocking on water.

The PSU should be fine but as has been said you could use 2 power supplies instead, just to make sure everything has even draw

 

also, why do you have really rubbish speakers....when everything else is amazing
