Finally is this motherboard a good one for 2 gpus and a triple monitor setup or should i buy another mobo? the cooling of all of this will be water cooled btw. Thanks for all of the help guys .

You need to change the Newegg link because we cannot see your shopping cart.

Your going to want cards with at least 4gb of memory for gaming on three monitors. The 760 has two, it will work but it wont be that good. Something like the 4gb 770 would run much smoother on three monitors

Which cooler do you plan on buying? Are you overclocking?
GTX 760 in SLI makes no sense. You don't SLI two mid end cards, you upgrade to a high end card and then look at getting two or more high end cards in SLI. That monitor is a TN panel which is poo for colours and what not. I literally despise using TN panels after switching to IPS so I'd definitely suggest looking at an IPS panel. Also, response time means nothing. AM3+ is a dead socket, with a $700 budget, you could get a nice Intel build. 32GB RAM is entirely unnecessary. Even for editing, rendering and/or content creation, 16GB is more than enough. Also, PSU is shit.
Since you're building a PC, don't buy a combo, not one like that anyway. You can get some nice mobo+CPU bundles sometimes, but for your money, you could get so much better.

Cheaper and far superior. You can chuck another 8GB RAM if you ever need it, nd you can chuck another 290 in there in XFire, although you'd need a PSU upgrade if you did another 290.
Edit- For monitor, I can't recommend these enough;

Bunziix wrote could you build me an amd build so i can compare the 2 because i have been an amd fan since the beginingNo. For your budget, there is no comparable AMD build. FM2+ only really makes sense if you are looking for an APU, which you're not and AM3+ is dead. Haswell is your only logical option, for your budget.
