Need thoughts on this build. I looked at 980s but not sure how available they will be by February. Looking for good graphics in all games of at least 60 fps. Possibly doing a triple monitor setup down the road to and wanna be able to run games like Wow, the crew, watch dogs, gta 5 and others on ultra.

This setup would be fine for it, but you should plan when you are building, not so far ahead.

The build looks solid. But as TheSLSAMG said, you really should plan closer to the date of the build. 5 or 6 months in the hardware industry can be an entire product cycle, plus prices can change wildly by then. Heck, x99 and DDR4 stuff could very well come down in price (although it's unlikely) and you could build with that instead. It is extremely likely that by that time we will see the 980Ti or a 2nd gen titan too.

Also by that time, it will be near impossible to find 780Ti's, they are already out of production and people are just selling off what they have. Not to mention the fact that 980's tend to be cheaper, more effecient, and slightly higher or the same in performance.

Only thing I would do differently is go with a EVGA G2 PSU if they have a 1000W option
