Hello everybody, I'm building my third computer currently, and I am trying to figure out if all my parts will work well together as well as which version of the Nvidia GTX 1080 to purchase. I am currently trying to choose between the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 CLASSIFIED GAMING ACX 3.0, the MSI GeForce GTX 1080 GAMING X, and the Asus ROG Strix Geforce GTX 1080. Price for the graphics card does not matter, I saved most of my cash for this part.

My current build:

CPU: Intel Core i7-6700k
CPU Cooling: Noctua NH-D15 SSO2 D-Type Premium CPU Cooler
Motherboard: MSI Gaming Z170A GAMING M5
Power Supply: CORSAIR RMx RM750X
Ram: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16gb
Case: Rosewill THOR V2-W White Edition
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro

I also have 2 SSDs and a large HDD that my dad had laying around, so I'm good there.
If you guys have any suggestions/ can help with my graphics card it would be greatly appreciated, I've never had this amount of freedom when making a PC before.

The ASUS STRIX appears to be the clear choice atm..

The ASUS ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1080 -- it cranks the GPU Boost clock to 1936MHz in OC mode, a 12% increase over the stock configuration. -- In addition to higher clocks, the card has better cooling than the Founders Edition, including the ability to control auxiliary system fans. It’s also infused with Aura RGB lighting that can be customized to fit in with the rest of your system.

I think the ASUS MAXIMUS RANGER is a better performer than the MSI Gaming M5..
