Monitors 1 & 2 go into either DVI ports (the ones on the top), HDMI (I assume you know what those look like) ports or 1 of each and the 3rd monitor goes into a displayport port, which are the smaller ones across the bottom in the case of this card
No, you can only crossfire/SLI 4 GPUs since a 7990 already has 2 you can only have a maximum of 2 of them in Crossfire
2. Okay.
1. Now I don't see what you mean. I think the other guy explained it better, are all 4 at the bottom Displayport Ports, and both at the top DVI ports? If so, where are the HDMI ports?
So the third monitor goes into a displayport port, got it. Now where exactly do I put 1 & 2? I don't comprehend this very well.
Well in that case the Sapphire has 1 full size displayport, dual DVI and a single HDMI so a regular displayport cable is fine because you have a full sized port on both sides otherwise its the same
So Monitor 1 goes in DVI, Monitor 2 goes in DVI, and Monitor 3 goes in Displayport?
Which arrangement are the Monitors supposed to go in?
123 or 321
and by that I mean when you are looking at the screens, from left to right.
Okay.
But when you said go back, what did you mean?

This one?
Yes.
He actually has a Sapphire card, but it'll be the same.

I think it got mixed up somewhere, but I feel like this is what it should have been.
Or should I be using the Mukshin memory?http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/mushkin-memory-997018
So Monitor 1 goes in DVI, Monitor 2 goes in DVI, and Monitor 3 goes in Displayport?
Which arrangement are the Monitors supposed to go in?
123 or 321
and by that I mean when you are looking at the screens, from left to right.
Yeah, and the QuickFire Rapid because the Logitech keyboard is insanely overpriced for a non mechanical.
So Mukshin is the good one?So this should be good to go?

Also, do any of you have experience with ordering from Newegg.ca? How well do they deliver?
I've used Newegg and they typically ship within a week, tops. I've only ordered single items from them though.
But how does it arrive?
At your doorstep, or do they ring the bell or something?
Ordered entire builds through them, shipped within a day or less.
Didn't ring the bell for me, just left it in front of the house.
Not Canadian Newegg.
Will the build have WiFi, or just Ethernet (whatever that is) ?
By that I mean, will I be able to use my new PC with my WiFi network?
Just buy a cheap USB wifi adapter and you're good to go. Pretty much any of them will do a good enough job.
I don't comprehend this sentence, which post are you responding to?
So I have to run a cord all the way from my PC to my WiFi router?
