Unless you're ordering directly from EVGA don't get the 1080 FTW ACX. They forgot a thermal pad and chances are you're still ordering old stock from a vendor with overheating issues. Any other 1080 will do fine.

Don't waste money on Corsair SP fans.
Go with Cougar or Noctua (not the industrials). They move more air at the same or higher pressure at half the noise or Corsair MLs (at significantly higher cost though)

You need to change the case although you might think it looks cool you will also need to add a 80 buck extension for the video card and I have never seen one that was worth a crap.
EDIT just seen the other video card slots so you will not need to order the extender.

Define "not good"
They're very stylish and good looking.
Build quality is high.
But they're a bit dated. Newer designs just push more air at higher pressure. While this is usually not the biggest issue as the airflow needed with a halfway decent case is pretty overrated, what's really bugging about these fans is the noise.
A BeQuiet/Noiseblocker BlackSilent fan is 4 times quieter while having similar specs.
Imo that's just a no-go. A case fan should be the quietest fan in your case and basically inaudible at idle.
The Corsair SPs are not though. And when slowed down to inaudible levels they move so little air that they're not worth it

So if you're using the fans for actual cooling then I'm not a fan.
If your system is sufficiently cool and they're more for decorative purposes then they are quite nice

Dammit, I wish I'd seen this post sooner... a couple of Corsair SPs ordered and on their way.

Nothing wrong with those fans for the price.
