Is it a good idea to go with the I7 4790K, 16gb of 2400mhz memory, Asus VII gene, one GTX 780 3gb or GTX 780 6gb later the second, custom watercool loop, one 1080p and 1440p or one 1080p and 4k monitors in corsair 350d with window psu AX860i.

I see loads of useless upgrades there. Your motherboard, CPU, RAM and motherboard are fine. Why not just wait for the next gen of GPUs and upgrade to that? Maybe get a new monitor. Your GTX 770 should do fine until then.

I totally agree.

Better get a new keyboard and a new monitor ;)
