Wow what a beast! The main 2 things i have noticed that you might want to change is 1. Windows 64-Bit, not sure why you have 32 Bit as it's not supported by some games and will limit your detected RAM to 4GB if im not mistaken haha. 2) Maybe wait for aftermarket GTX 1080 Ti to come out they will have better cooling and have faster factory overclocks. Good luck with the insane build, hope this helps

If you're really going for performance (though with the 1080ti's aftermarket versions will perform cooler and better for potentially less).
The other 2 monitors, thermal paste, case and case fans are just suggestions so feel free to change them to fit your wants.
