wow, that's expensive...there's a lot of stuff in there that isn't necessary. drop the 12 gb of ram, unless you're some sort of software developer or animator, it's overkill, 6gb is a good amount. drop the xeno pro network card, you get like VERY little benifits, and in some games your ping actually drops. Since you have liquid cooling, drop the led fans and you don't need overclocking on memory and you don't need the os tweak.
 
oh yeah, one more thing (sorry), you don't need the classified 4x mobo, even if you were to upgrade to 4 gpu's that psu wouldn't be enough. Get the 3x sli and a smaller case (like the hailstorm or the haf932). Trust me, drop the stuff i just mentioned and you'll save a lot of money. $9800 on a comp is overkill.

First off: Are you gaming or doing video editing and such.  If you are Gaming @ what resolution?
Before we can help you clear off the uneeded stuff we need to know that.

Paper: "OMG, WTF, Scissors!"
Scissors: "Rock is OP and Paper are QQers. We need PvP buffs."

this is a much better system, with better quality parts and no overkill, also this is assuming your res is 2560 x 1600, if its lower then that, then you need to go with 1 x 5870m, cause you would never notice the difference:

if you need a bluray read/writer then add that back in.

12GB is pointless, you have absolutely nothing to gain from it, it does however put more stress on the memory controller and all for nothing, cause you will see no performance gain from it.
