Up the 4770k, That's an old CPU. go with a 4790k at LEAST even that might bottleneck any card setup at that range. 

Also, Crossfire and SLI scale badly at 3 way or 4 way, so if you have $1200 for a GPU, go for a titan x or 980 ti Sli. 

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

Holy molly you are spending a lot on the motherboard and case! How about you save up for 3 TB hard drive? Also I'd rather go for a SLI 980ti than a tri 390X because:

1- 3 times crossfire doesn't scale

2- the 390X preforms like a 980 for the most part at higher resolution, you are better off with the 980 ti
