Yeah, your PSU is about 500 watts overkill, but go for a 600 just to be safe. The rest of your build looks pretty solid. Can't go wrong with a sabertooth. You have left room for RAM expandability. I'm going to assume that you are picking a Titan because you actually need it. But for the most part, a GTX 780 is better than a Titan and cheaper. My current monitor is the one you're looking at buying and it seems to be pretty good for me, there are definitely better monitors out there though

I am good at computer

You could go alot lower on the psu side as you said, maybe something like 700-750 watt would do. Go with something like corsair or seasonic and make sure its 80+ standard and you should be good. No recommendation on monitors as I don't really know to much about displays. Another question, what is this build for like gaming, editing, both? I don't really see the need for three monitors.

Get a water cooler and put noctua fans on it, h100i, or h110, not sure the h110 fits in the r4
 

WD 2TB black drive, made for performance, the red line is for NAS's

 

Get a better sound card, your motherboard has a better soundcard built in than that $30 one.

 

Corsair HX850 PSU

Psu is overkill.

If you don't plan to sli: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650xxxb9

If you do: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-tx850m

 

I'd get IPS Panels instead: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-monitor-vs239hp

ESPECIALLY since you'll be viewing multiple monitors--the viewing angle will be important.

 

I'd get a cheaper $150 mobo that would do that job just the same. The price is only for the looks and considering you got the NH-D14...

 

Cheaper ram: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/a-data-memory-ax3u1600gw8g92g

 

Samsung 840 has much better random read speeds: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/samsung-internal-hard-drive-mz7td120bw

 

Why red? Why not Seagate barracuda for better speeds? http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seagate-internal-hard-drive-st2000dm001

Go for SLI GTX 770 and save some money. Also, get faster RAM, faster R/W SSD speeds, and slimmer bezels.

 if 500 watts is overkillwhy would 600 watts be not overkill?

Perhaps he's referring to 500w of actual output and not the psu label too much and a 600w psu.
