New Gaming/Rendering PC

[njmyers3]

I've spent a while choosing some parts for a new computer to render and play games on. I plan to have 3 monitors at 1080p but only GAME on one of them (Chrome, Skype, etc on others). What do you think of my build? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/mqrpP6 

 

Thanks!

buying the 4x00 is like buying a brand new car..but buying last years model..or the year before

personally I like that new car smell
