Quite a hefty spec. What are you using the system for?

if you can afford it then buy it, it will be a dream machine, why not add a geforce 690 or a radeon 7970 in though hehe

sounds like a great flight sim machine, hope you let us all know how you get on building it and also using it, never see many shots of build before and after when it's up and running and in use now days.

shame no ones done a good gunship remake or HIND or Apache Longbow etc, ah the good old days

Not sure about 2Gb/256bit memory bus on three 1440p screens...

 

[dacads]

I would go with 16GB RAM even that would be overkill for your intended uses

I think I will reduce some of the specs to save my bank balance! Also AMD is lo cheaper then Nvidia!
