I'm certain you can't SLI different kind of GPU's. You read up on this?

I believe he isn't planning to use a SLI configuration with them.
The main thing I'd recommend doing is getting a Modular power supply. Saves you from having a load of spare cables clogging up the in the inside of the machine.

If it means anything, i've got those monitors, and they're brilliant.
A more fitting signature.Â

Why do you have 2 graphics cards? You shouldn't be able to SLI them....
You might want to make your SSD bigger, though that depends on what you want it for. If you just want it for Windows, that size should be sufficient. But for much else you're going to want at least 120 GB, maybe more if you want to put lots of games on it.

I have the 2 graphics cards as im getting 2 of them screens and then 1 of them I will be using for browsing the internet, Skype, teamspeak etc and on the other one I shall be gaming. The SSD is just for my OS and the 3TB HDD will be used for games, recorded games and movies.

The SSD is just for my OS and the 3TB HDD will be used for games, recorded games and movies. You don't need two graphics cards for two screens, and you can't use both graphics cards from different types (GTX 650 vs 770) You will have to choose one or the other, or get two of the same type to use them both. I recommend just getting the 770 or 780 since you will have extra money left over from not buying the 650, because SLI is very buggy sometimes.

I currently have the 650 and I was going to get the 770 for my gaming screen I'm not going to SLI them.

I am almost positive that you can't do that. You will have to have seperate drivers for each one of those cards, which won't work. Also, running Teamspeak, Skype, and all of those other programs while gaming doesn't take much. Just run another DVI cable to your second monitor and you should be fine. Desktop doesn't take much, especially with a 770.
One more thing, do NOT buy an ACX card from EVGA unless you have money to waste. ACX does nothing more, and for the amount of money that they are making you pay for that, you might as well get the 4gb GTX 770 Gigabyte Windforce. Great cooler, great for money, performs even better than an ACX card. Not saying that EVGA is bad, I'm just saying they overprice their cards with nice looking custom coolers. The one that I will be running in SLI is the Gigabyte Windforce 4gb.

That card just looks amazing too. If you the good 650, sell it for around 100 and get a 780 with the money you would use for the 770 and the money you got from the 650. Hope your build goes well!
EDIT: Don't buy any kind of RAM over 1866, you won't notice a difference just because motherboards today don't recognize the difference between 1866 and 2133, its just extra money wasted, especially on an old chipset motherboard like the 990.
