Basically, i'm getting two msi seahawk x 1070s (for those who do not know, this card comes pre fitted with a corsair h55, so it would run great in sli) My plan was previously to get a 7700k (rest of my parts are below), but with ryzen's amazing performance, i might get that. The problem is that i already got a pretty expensive dell gsync monitor a couple months ago and, well it has gsync. Im not sure if i can use it with my the 1700x, and i cant return it now.(also i really like the monitor and dont want to sell it). I might have to wait to see what amd's new vega can do(i dont want to spend more than 450each on graphic cards since im getting 2)

My intel build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Mhm4wV
My amd build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3wNRM8

Please give me any suggestions

makes sense but its price should drop a good 40 each after the 1080ti is released saving me money which i can put into getting a the 1700x instead of the 7700k.
Btw, how much trouble will i have to go through to make it work apart from constant fixing of drivers?
 
That's mainly it - the drivers sometimes take a while to catch up. Then again, if you wait a couple months to get a game it's probably not a big deal.

I'd just always prefer a single powerful card unless you're pushing the boundary of resolution and framerate.
