Been a while - upgrade help needed!

Having a right mare with Win 10 which looks like it will only work properly if I install from scratch rather than upgrade. So looking at man maths I might as well bring the hardware up to date as part of the re-install.....

Only things I'm looking to upgrade would the the mobo, cpu, gfx and memory. With an addition of water cooling. I think my Seasonic 850w should still be juicy enough?

I currently run an i7-3770k @4.5, 16GB Samsung Green, 2x7950 Xfire and an Asrock Z77 Extreme6.

I think I'd also look to come away from air cooling as I've stuggled a bit in the summer with gpu temps.

I run 3x24" Dell U2412M (1920x1200) and like to run Eyefinity in 6000x1200 (inc bezel compensaton) which has been fine to now with what I play on the 2x7950's.

Ideally I'd like to go down to 1 gfx card but I'm probably still looking at crossfire for that res? Don't mind on ATI or Nvidia, though ATI drivers have been giving me a bit of grief recently on Win 10. And if possible one that supports 3xmini DP as current have to run 2x mini dp and 1xdvi.

I'm grateful of any recommendations as what I should be looking at, ideally budget around 1k but can go to 1.5k if needed, been out of the loop for a while in all things PC hardware so looking for some starters for 10!

Many thanks
Neil

Thanks mate - sorry, no don't need 3 mini dp, just want them all dp in one way or another, don't want to use hdmi (screens don't have it) or DVI. Appreciate your experience with the GPU, I appreciate with replacing 2 cards and having 3 screens I'd need to go reasonably high spec and the 980Ti was one I was looking at amongst others.
