It looks like it would run great, to me anyways, and im not a professional with these things. So someone with experience, I would appreciate your opinion.

What's the budget? If you were contemplating 4790K and 2x 970 I guess it's pretty high.
Most people end up with a 4690K, Z97 board, 8 or 16GB ram, an ssd and a big gpu. But if you have money to burn you could look at the 5820K, X99 board and some ddr4. I'm not a fan of sli and crossfire, but it usually works in the big aaa titles.

My buget, $1400 and under, but what about the GPUs? Do you think if I were to only have one, it would still run the game well?

Sli seems to work in mwo now finally, but I hear there are still some issues.
Anyway, this game wants lots of per-core performance, so intel haswell cpu's are the way to go. A 4690K still has reasonable price/performance, if you want a faster cpu I'd skip the 4790K (which doesn't add much) and go for the 5820K (requires other boards and ddr4 though).

Hey, if your Monitor is not a super flashy gaming one and is abled to perform >60hz, everything without VSync and/or above 60fps makes almost no sense.
And I would always prefer 1 single GPU to a SLI rig, think about getting a 980...
Oh and if you are not into rendering videos/3D scenes and/or heavy photoediting, an i7 offers almost no advantage over an i5.
Also, A good Mainboard (I recommend the ASrock Z97 Extreme4, using it myself), 8-16GB of 1600mhz DDR3 ram and a good Combination of a solid 120GB SSD (Samsung 840) and a 1-2 TB Hard drive (Dont buy seagate, i did that twice and regret it twice now) are essential.

I've been an intel user for 4 PC generations now and I saw many AMD chips of my buddies fail compared to mine, even if they cost the same. They may have more cores and a higher clock rate, but Comparing AMD CPUs to Intels is like comparing Nissan to Mercedes. Yes they are more cheap but Intel is just plain "better".
Even at the low price segment, where AMDs smaller FX cores used to beat Pentiums and Celerons, Intel stepped up and every serious hardware instance advises you to buy Intel chips now, whatever price segment you might be in.
Also, MWO does not really like AMD chips, as far as I've experienced.

Don't buy a aio watercooler. Theyre loud and not so much better than a good aircooler. And Expensive
Get the Thermalright Macho HR-02, I'm using that cooler since 3 pc generations now and its a beast.

I'd also opt for a single large ssd instead of a mini ssd and a normal drive.

Both signed. A 60GB SSD was terrible in my last PC, I went with a 240GB one this time and its great

So, everything about Lord Letto's build is good, except the water cooler? And an i5 can run the game like an i7 can?

I cant find the HR-02 in the list, compatibility issues maybe?
