Looks like a system that will last you a good while to me. Only thing I would change is the 3200mhz ram. You won't see those speeds unless you are a serious overclocked and tweaked. You will only real world get 2400-2800 out of it. Man o'war headset is crap too. Reviews online say it's very quiet headset and doesn't get loud at all. All wireless headsets are like this. I'd recommend the hyperX clouds. Also no reason to have a regular drive in there. Go with a 256 m.2 drive and then just get 2 regular ssd's. They are cheap enough these days.

Too much ram and too much (unused ram speed).
Why you have 3 types of storage?
PSU is overkill

If you have money to spend you could go for and 6 core or 8 core intel cpu to benefit even more for your sli and for future upgrade to 3-way sli...

there is no need in 2 GTX 1080 for this monitor -> no need in this PSU -> no need in full tower case.
32GB of RAM are not needed for 99.999%.
All the storage can be replaced with single M.2 960 1TB module.
Want to be cool - build around i7-6800K with single GTX 1080.
Want to be cooler, do mini ITX build.

actually a single 1080 has trouble in some games gaming at that res on maxed settings so 2 would be needed to ensure best performance. I also agree with the ram. 2400mhz would be a better choice but lately ram has been so cheap that 3200 is as cheap as 2400 so why not? The 6700k is actually performance wise i believe about the same if i remember the reviews properly. I also prefer my mid 540 case but also own a HafX case thats a full tower and i love it! One of the best cases i ever owned. Plenty of space and amazing airflow because nothing was camped inside it. So again i saw why not? As far as performance goes there isn't really anything other than the hard drive config that i would change.

So explain why how higher core cpu's in games get beat by lower core cpu's? For instance a intel i3 can beat a amd 8350 or as i said a 5960x being beat by a 6700k. 8 cores for games is PLENTY for gaming. At that point higher clocks make more of a difference.

for the games now 6700k perform
better than the 6850k but as the VR is released and more and more game will be on VR, cores are getting more and more important as well. I wont take risk that the future vr games is sufficient with 8 cores. I rather give up some clock now and aim for few more cores for predence

Well if you did just win the lottery.

In all honestly it demonstrates why most people go to wreak and ruin and it ends up destroying there lives.

Part of the reason in life that keeps people going is knowing what they are limited too.
And also the challenge of sacrifice in order to get something they desire, to have to often work hard to get a treat or a reward, or something to look forward too.

It`s the limitations also that keep people sane.
A goal to work towards, or one that you have to work too often gives more joy, in looking forward to it
Having lots of money, any buying anything you want at a click of a finger without having to think about it.

Is one of the greatest pit falls in life.
Money does not make you a better person, or give you the ability to make better choices.
It helps you to live better of course and afford things you don`t really need in your life.

It`s a case of, because I can without any repercussion, and requires little thought.
And once you can get and buy everything you ever wanted at a click of your fingers.

What is left to do, if there is no challenge to achieving the goal ?
dazkyl.

I don`t mean to be rude or upset you.
The whole point in life is were not men`t to be able to just click our fingers and your wish is my command.
Satisfaction and thought, not having to work towards a goal ends up at 0% contentedness.

And that is the main reason why you hear a few years down the line when someone says after having a big win on the lottery how it ruined there life, dazkyl.

Then you see other people who win large amount of money make the exact same mistake.
Especially if before it you had to work towards a goal to be able to buy or get something you greatly desired to gain it for yourself.
There is an element of pride and fulfilment in such a simple process.

I would ask what the main use of the system is going to be, what you intend to do with it and it`s main purpose.
other than just playing games on.

For you to get the maximum use out of it for yourself.
