You need that much space for Harddrives? At least remove one. It will help you in the future unless you are doing some hyper recording on bf3/crysis 3 on max. If so, keep it.
Speaking of which, what will you be playing after all?
Insanely overpriced ram
Crazy amount for a CPU. get a i5 3570k. It will save you cash.
Try for a 7970 Ghz too. They offer better performance for the money.
If you going with Tri screen, then you are going with the wrong kind of GPU. You want to go AMD for that one. Nvidia kinda is limited at best 2 screens per GPU. A AMD HD7970 would however would be a better choice here given Eyefinity nativity.
On another subject, 2 extra measly 32CFM 80mm case fans for such system? I am not sure if I even on that one. You may want to revise your cooling setup as well. Get a Noctua NH-D14 for that 3930K if you plan to overclock. Unless you already have a cooler for it, for they do NOT come with one.
Or a silver arrow cooler, kinda pricey and bulky however.
Please, do not use so much extra money to get a high level of satisfaction for games now, you'll end up spending more in the future upgrading. Having 1500 gaming computer every 2 years instead of having 3000 every 2 years is a better (not the best) deal. You'll spend 3000 for the former and 6000 for the latter. Please, learn the value of the dollar.
As for what you're asking, OP, I use a 7970 (better deal, imo), and it runs three monitors consistently well. However, you will need to Crossfire two of them if you plan on gaming on all three at a high level of detail.
I have a ASUS GTX 680 DC2 4gb card, I currently run only 2 24" screens, but on idle, my GPU according to GPU Tweak idles at around 30-33 celcius after being on for a few hours, and its running at 10%, and the only thing i don't like about it is that it wont go above 10% fan speed till it hits around 50 celcius and the max temp I have seen was 70, if I needed, I could manually control my fan speed and bump it up when playing a game too get it even below 70, it runs at like 34% fan speed at 70 celcius. so the GPU should be fine.
Titan can I think, other than that, it is just the combo cards.
Nah, Titian was merely a response to the disappointment in the 690GTX. The 690GTX wasn't all that bad, just the memory bandwidth on it really how to say failed. As for screen, I cannot say but would not assume so.
I should say though the Titian is basically a "reprogrammed" Quadro.
So much wut. The GTX 680 will not run 3 monitors gaming on BF3 ultra, it won't happen. And by your logic, my GTX 560 Ti is better, because I can do the exact same thing.
Wait, your comparing my 680 4gb card to your 1gb 560 TI by temperature?
if so,
my GTS 250 black edition 1gb card beats your's because I can run 2 screens on it at like 40 celcius, and when I pulled it out of my PC few weeks ago, it had a bit of dust inside under the fan.

I can say right now, 3 screens wont be stress on his GPU, he does not tell us he wants to play BF3 on 3 monitors, and I'm sure I could play BF3 on ultra on 3 screens, if my GTS 250 could play BF3 on ultra, I'm sure this card could, but I do not have 3 monitors, nor do I have BF3 installed.
For all we know, he wants to be able to play minecraft on one screen, youtube on a second screen, and MCF on his 3rd screen.
Yes; use the two DVI connections, and get an "active" display port to DVI connector.
That was such a simple answer compared to the above
If you looked up, I was responding to a guy who compared his 560 TI to my GTX 680 4gb card by temperature. So i went into more detail for him, how im running dual screens like breathing.
I previously said, he will be able to run 3 screens and said some temperatures that my GPU receives, but got responded by a
"ermahgawd mah 560 can dual screen too, it better then urs" so all you reallyy need to read is the last paragraph
It will be able to run three monitors, however one 680 isn't powerful enough to game on Ultra across three monitors. You will need two 680's in SLI to get good framerates across three monitors.
I'm not going to tear apart your build like some people have, but I am curious why you are getting two 80mm fans? I don't see where those would serve a purpose in a full tower case. I'm guessing they're serving a more specific purpose, but if you're just getting them as generally intake or exhaust fans then I would highly advise against it. Such small fans will have little effect on such a large case if used like that.

Some people value it differently.

AMD did not invent Eyefinity for nothing, so why I rather just say AMD on that behalf since I have seen it in use.
However as a forewarning for a single card you may need for best bet to get a active Display Port to DVI/HDMI converter.
The Third monitor MUST be connected to the display port. The other 2 HDMI/DVI.

That is exactly what I want to do. I am NOT playing on all three screens, but have the game on 1, and the wiki or something like that on the others
In that case you are good to go.
