If I were you I would just hook up my Computer to your TV with HDMI cables and play like that, save you 3g and upgrade to core i7

I think it's meant for gaming, so the i7 would be pointless.

TVs are also awful for computers more times than not. And my monitor is a 6 panel and each panel is 1920x1080 aka 1080p.

From the top now...

This combo will save you a bug chunk of change with Ivy Bridge fetures and a board that's not overpriced:

Much better cooler:

(2x) Better RAM for the price (overclocks like no other, too, not that it would make a difference):

Better as a storage drive and >dat price per gigabyte:

Better SSD:

7950s will give you a lot more power for your dollar and the same 3GB VRAM for super high-res games. Honestly for something like a triple 2560x1440 monitor setup, you'll want 690s in SLI.

I'd get three U2711s instead of six 1080p panels. ~90% of the pixel count, a layout that can actually be effectively used for gaming, better panel quality, lower price, etc.:

You may not need a sound card and wouldn't want one anyway. It's better to get an external solution like an ODAC + O2 combo that's much more versatile and of higher quality. If you don't have good enough headphones to take advantage of either of these, though, there's no sense in getting one in the first place.

The case is a subjective matter, but I'll throw the NZXT Switch 810 in as a suggestion. And the stupid sexy Fractal Design R4, but for the graphics card setup I'd get something that prioritizes cooling more. Maybe even a Storm Stryker.

PSU's good.

Keyboard sucks, go mechanical. MX Browns are easy to recommend as they do everything very well:

The G400 is arguably the best mouse in the world:

Gigabyte Sniper for a reason, I actually like the Gigabyte boards better, their BIOS kick ass. My cooler is just fine, the RAM is at base 2133 so that's just fine Vengeance is better anyways. 7970s are perfect, and I have a 6gb Saphire card already prolly should have mentioned that. I want the 6 monitors for a reason too, I can use 3 for gaming, Have the other 3 for web browsers, videos, music, etc while in game. And you can rotate each of those monitors, so someone else could watch netflix or something while I play DotA. I like that keyboard, keyboards and mice are all about style and what fits you, these fit me.

You somehow made a $6,000 build look terrible. That...that's a first.

lol it's a 3.2k build, 3k for an awesome monitor, but you guys are obviously cut-rate and don't know what you're talking about and haven't had experience with any of these parts.
