780ti is an absolute mother of overkills for single FHD monitor.

My suggestion:

i7 4770k (24000)
Asus Gryphon Z87 (14500)
Kingston hyperX Blu 1600 MHz 8 GB x 2 (10600)
Seagate Barracuda 2 TB (6100)
Samsung 840 250 GB (12900)
Asus R9 290 4 GB (35000)
Corsair TX750 (7200)
CM Hyper 212 EVO (2800)
Dell S2240L x2 (18000)
Asus optical drive (1050)
Tthermaltake chaser a71 (9800) available at mdcomputers

total: 141k

i guess this pc will be used for atleast 3-4 years and 780 ti will not be an overkill at that time. if 4k monitors gets released within 1-2years at affordable prices and if op upgrade to that monitor , i guess 780 ti is the way to go.

R9 290 is also overkill for single FHD monitor :)

I have included 2 1080p monitors in my suggestion which, along with the monitor OP already has will provide triple monitor setup.

Nothing is overkill for Next gen games.

Get R9 290 only from custom cooler based,not of reference one

i would suggest for 120hz monitor here :)

^ But it doesn't mean you cannot play without all ultra settings. Even I got consistent 60+ fps in Crysis 3 with my i3 2100 and a friend's GTX 670. What I meant was the inclusion of 780ti for just one monitor. Crysis 3 isn't gonna be the only game to be played. 780ti is better justified with a dual or triple monitor setup than with Crysis 3's benchmark. Period.

It depends on op what he want.I feel multi monitor setup is like barrier in gaming.

i would vote for 27 inch 1440p monitor here ,it is costly,but offers a great gaming experiance

multimonitor = bezels and with bezels only racing games are OK not fps/rpg.
