1. 780 isn't going to power 3x 1080p. 2. You can't fit the H100i in the hadron unless you mod it. 3. The Evga stinger isn't that great compraded to a Impact. 4. Why spend 2.4 k and get an i5? Also that ram is overpreiced.

it will power them, not the best for gaming on all 3 of them. That's write the h100i does not fit. That's 2.4k for a hole setup, including 3monitors so

Well for one if you are not video editing the I7 is just there for the penis extension, in games the I5 and I7 perform the exact same.

Don't get an EVGA motherboard, their glory days are well over, I know they made great boards in the X58 days, but their new motherboards are just bad, plagued with BIOS issues and such. 

 

Get an ASUS Z87i Deluxe, better board, much cheaper. Or even the Maximus VI Impact, but that's expensive.

That is the best description of an i7 I've ever seen.  I'll have to use this

Agreed EVGA motherboards aren't what they used to be, however they are still superb.  I have a friend that has one and I love it (I was the one that went into the BIOS to tweak settings)

You should probably have posted this in planning not build logs.

Not going to play next gen title with 3 displays on a single 780. You'll need SLI for more future proofing. And ur building the system into a mITX?

Sure you can it just depends on what games, resolutions, detail settings, and frame rates you want to play at.

Just FYI a blower style card would be better for this case because the PSU will block the majority of your card.
