I want the best of the best so I have thought of parts for the build ....

Intel i7 4960x @ 5GHz

4 way SLI with gtx 780ti

Asus rampage IV black edition

64GB corsair dominator 2133MHz ram

WD black 4TB x2

Kingston 3k 480GB x2 raid 0

Corsair AX1500i psu

**CASE**

A case labs TX-10 V with 2 pedestals ( 1 on top and 1 on bottom )

A crazy 8 quad rad & 1080 extreme rad custom water loop

Should I go 4k or for a 3 screen setup ?

You may have a tough time getting a 5GHz i7 4960X.

 

As for the screen setup, I personally would go 4K.

I ran Tomb Raider benchmark yesterday, Ultimate settings at 3840x2160...average FPS 79, max fps 94. I couldn't recommend 4 Tis in one purchase. Go 2-way now, then save the rest for SLI 880/Titan 2.

If it's not a joke, I don't recommend going with this setup, either for 4K or triple 1080p.

 

780Ti only has 3GBs of memory. Try Battlefield 4 on Ultra at 4K and you'll get an amazing 10FPS!

 

Also, 4-Way SLI scaling, even at high resolutions is very very bad.

 

Get two GTX Titan Blacks, it's going to be enough even for 4K. If you want even more performance, get 3 of them.

 

You should get 32GBs of memory, and 1866MHz. 64GBs isn't necessary, unless you have a RAMDisk, or extremely intensive 3D, photo and video work. Also, 2133MHz, again, in games, and even when rendering, it's pretty much useless. At around 2133-2400MHz, instead of gaining performance, you're going to start LOSING performance.

 

Don't get the 4960X.. Please, just don't... Not worth the money. Get the 4930K - pretty much the same performance, a lot cheaper.

 

I know that you want an "overkill" rig, but I think that you should take into consideration these things that I said.

More  like 35. BF4 does not use more than 3gb at 4k.

Well, I'm currently playing BF4 Multiplayer, on 1080p. Ultra, 104% Res. Scale - 3339 MB max memory usage, currently 3091.

Ok let me put it this way is BF4 you will not notice the difference between the 780ti and the Titan Black. Watch Paul's Hardware's 'Are we ready four 4k?' video.
