Final Advise on Upgrade Path

GoldForest

Alright, so I think I'm pretty much locked in for my upgrades. I just want a little more advise. 

 

Current rig:

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/GoldForest/saved/jg6hMp


I plan on adding all this to my current rig: 
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/GoldForest/saved/txJvK8

 

Purpose: I will be running triple monitor gaming, plus I would like the multi-tasking of triple monitor. The two Swifts will go side by side to my 34 inch monitor. The current 27 inch monitor I'm going to give to my brother.

Budget: Non-existent really. I plan on saving up for the stuff I want, but I'm trying to be reasonable.... ish. 
 

If all goes well, I plan on buying three parts tonight. 
The PSU
The Bluray (Yes I know I don't need it! But I want it for when I rent Blu-ray movies, actually... thinking about it, I might just grab the Xbox One, PS3, or PS4 and just use them... but it would be nice to watch movies on my pc... idk What do you guys think? Just pop it in a console or watch it on PC?)
The Ram sticks.

The Ram sticks.

You can definitely make one more upgrade but it unnecessary for gaming.

I plan on going Triple surround gaming. Also, what do you mean by one more upgrade?

My mobo can hold 8, and I'm upgrading because I've noticed some of my modded games are getting up there. I also want it for the aesthetic.

Oh? I heard that the 5802k is great for what I need. What would you suggest?

The 5820K is the best CPU for your use case. I don't suggest you upgrade your CPU until you need to. Keep in mind that the X99 platform supports CPUs with up to 22 cores.
