So i have 2 options for my next build:

Build 1:
i7 6850k
asus x99 deluxe 2
corsair h115i
crucial ballistix 4 x 4gb
gtx 1080 FE
ssd hyper x 240gb and 1 tb hdd wd black
corsair hx1000i
corsair obsidian series 750D

Build 2:
i7 6700k
asus rog hero VIII
corsair h115i
crucial ballistix 2 x 8gb
2 gtx 1080 FE in sli
1 tb hdd wd black
corsair hx1000i
corsair obsidian series 750D

The build will be focused on 4k gaming and a some light content creation what really bothers me about the second build is that i would have to force the gtx 1080s to 8x lanes im scared that would affect performance i also don't like not having a ssd on the second build, sorry for bad english.

sorry for bad english.

8X mode on PCIE 3.0 is not an issue. if you run 3D mark you could possibly see something but not in gaming. build2 seems better, as you have not mentioned any tasks that the 6700K is not competent at. you might want a SSD for loading games.
