Alright, wait, what. The build OP linked somewhere here is pretty poor. 3930k is 2 generations old and seriously, a 270x in a $3k rig? That's ridiculous. It won't even max out every game on a single 1080p panel.

If it were me dropping $5k on a rig, I'd be getting this;
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
with this case;
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
and a custom loop.

Titan X will slay the high resolution. Custom loop will stop the Titan from throttling before using all it's power. X99 deserves custom loop anyway. With something so enthusiast, it's only right to go with a custom case. Ultrawide for movies and productivity, then use the 1440p panel for gaming. More than enough storage and RAM. Sure, you could get a 1TB SSD, 32GB RAM and a 5960x but then you'd have to get a cheaper case, and an AIO or air cooler for the CPU. You also might not have enough for the ultrawide if you do this. Probably way overkill for your needs though.

Or just use $150 of the remaining $1k for a 1080p for your console, and then spend the last $850 on you custom loop, should be more than enough for a single CPU and single GPU anyway. This way you have a monitor for your console, an ultrawide for movies and productivity and then a 1440p panel for dank PC gaming. win/win/win.
