Hi people, I'm struggling with my build and I'd really appreciate some help.

So I know I definitely would like the build to be based around the following components:

Intel Core i7-6900K
x2 GeForce GTX 1080 SLI

If you could give feedback that would be great, I already have these parts and have around £1,500 left.

Thanks - Ben

So based on your knowledge of PC Building, we can choose an appropriate system. This is a white and black color scheme build, which with the added effort for cable management, will look like a work of art. That said, I personally don't like very flashy rigs, especially since I also do video editing.

It really depends on what your build is needed for. I'm guessing a mix of production work while also being able to handle intensive games. Do you also need an OS and peripherals?

Thank you for your reply Storm, I forgot to mention that i have two monitors already and therefore that money can be spent elsewhere... and about the OS I have windows 10 and have all of the peripherals i need.

Also you were bang on about what this pc shall be used for :) I look forward to your reply!
