lol don't need to spend nearly that much under $4500 would cover everything. I would highly reccomend going for a 2560x1440 monitors spending so much and only rendering at 1080p is a waste. And using 3 1080p monitors horizontally doesn' change that it increases the fov and how much of the game world is rendered as much but its still only 1080p have to go for a vertical setup like this to increase the rendering resolution of ingame objects if your going to do that then going for multiple 1080p monitors wouldn't be bad. But the best experience would be multiple 2560x1440 monitors and you defintly fit that and a pc to power it within $4500
3 Yamasaki Catleap 2560x1440 27" monitor
and would reccomend getting this mount to use them with.
13-27" triple monitor mount
And For the pc I would get this
2-3 of gtx 680 4gb
Ivy bridge i73770K
ivybridge cpu cooler
This Motherboard
1200 Watt PSU
16gb ddr3 1600mhz ram
240gb SSD
2tb 7200rpm hardrive
DVD burner
Total cost $4355
and then you just need to pick a nice case and a mouse and keyboard of your liking to put it all in I would reccomend going for a full tower and getting a mechnical keyboard and for the mouse logitech,razer, and madcatx have some nice gaming mice.
And another thing to consider is the sound which is an integeral part of the experience that to often goes ignored and people will spend way more on the video side of things and skimp on the sound.
This soundcard Omega HT Claro 7.1 + High end swan m60 5.1 speakers would be a great addition towards providing the complete visual and audio experience. And a good pair of heaphones is essential imo headphones the AKG 550 would be good a choice for an unamped use at a computer for gaming and music.
I would go for a nice large monitor instead of 3 small, something like this 30" Ultrasharp.
For the computer itself there are descent suggestions already, a couple of GTX 680, i7 3770K + nice cooler, 16 GB RAM, top of the line mobo, some SSDs etc. When you spend this much though, definitely put some towards good sound if you haven't got that already. What to get depends on if you use speakers or headset, or both.
Spend less on CPU and SSDs, spend more on GPUs. At that price SLI GTX 680s would fit quite easily.If it was my money I would go with the following setup...

It's a ethusiast dream PC... Not just a gaming PC! The CPU,HDD and RAM all play a part.
If you are spending more than 3K you don't want to be running off of a slow conventional HDD and a Quad Core, since high end SSD's do drastically change a PC and a CPU is for more than just gaming the i7 3960X is therefore a beast worth buying if you have the money.
I managed to use a PCI-E SSD and those things a on my wish list and have been for some time now.
Each of the parts listed are in a class of their own when it comes to build quality and perfromance and thats what you want when you spend so much money.

Regardless of what you believe 2x 2GB GTX 680's vs 2x 4GB GTX 680's perform the same regardless of what resolution and what game you are playing.No they don't. Especially with more than one monitor.

10k what a joke... You don't have to spend that much to have an amazing computer.
Buy an Alienweare X51. Top of the line gaming machine that can run all current games at ultra settings. It's portable and looks bad ass. Plus it has a cool alien logo. Your PC will actually stand out, unlike everybody else's PC on this forum.
only if you throw a 660 in it. then, and only then, will it be an unstoppable force10k what a joke... You don't have to spend that much to have an amazing computer.

Spend it on sound.

Honestly... with that kind of money to spare... pay Falcon Northwest to do it for you. If you're really intent on blowing that much cash on a gaming PC, it might as well have a professional paintjob, liquid cooling, and be completely hassle free on your end.
