I say it looks good except for the chassis airflow. Keeping it default will give you the one large fan on the side of the case. I would do the upgrade and get the additional fans installed on the side panel instead.

I would upgrade to the standard EVGA mobo instead of the LE edition.

for your resolution you need to go with 2 gpus, also a 750w psu is good for the 2 gpus, but if you plan on upgrading in the future,, a 1000w psu would be better choice, if not the 750w is good enough
