With all the suggestions that I copied here is what I understood that I need

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor or ASRock Z97 EXTREME6

Cooler: Same as my dealer say (Corsair H100 92.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler)

Motherboard: Same as my dealer say Asus Rampage IV Black Edition EATX LGA2011 There is also a 7.1 Thanks EarthDog

Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2133

Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 1TB 2.5" Solid State Drive

7.1: No need now, it's on the motherboard

Power supply: As for this one I can't find the EVGA 850W SuperNova G2. I understood with your comment ATMINSIDE that I should aim for a 850w and not Cooler Master?

As for the GPU: I am confuse with this one.
EarthDog quote "That said, for 3x 2560x1600 There is no doubt I would go 2 290x's or 295x2 if you care to pay the premium (1/3 more than 2x 290x's). 3GB is pushing it for 3x at that res with the eye candy. If you can live with less/no AA then the 3GB card should be fine."
Is it 1 AMD Radeon R9-295x2 or 2 AMD Radeon R9-295x2 That I need?
 
the extreme 6 is a motherboard, not a cpu.

The rampage black edition board will not fit your 4790k... You need a z97 based board like the extreme 6 listed above.

For the gpu, I said either 2 290x's or one 295x2. There is a big premium for the 295x2...versus 2 290x.
 
Copied thanks for your time

Curious what you ended up doing.

I have 4 of those monitors in Portrait.

Using:

Tri SLI Titans (now 2)
Gigabyte X58-ud5a rev 2
Xeon X5650 @ 4.6ghz
12 GB of Ram

Usually play at 4800x2560 its gorgeous. Curious what games you play and what frame rates you get. I have held off on upgrading since X99 was not what I thought it was and my X58 system still kicks some serious ***. Love to hear what you did!
