It's bloody fantastic!

You should be able to max out stuff at 1080p with over 150fps actually, you couldn't ask for a better PC, all the components are great, except you might want to consider selling the 1080ti and getting one with an aftermarket cooler since the founders editions thermal throttle at higher load.

Chugalug_ :

Would the Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080 ti be any good?

Asus are good, but overpriced.
EVGA have fantastic customer service (I couldn't go back to any other brand now, they really go out of their way to help you), great build quality and good acoustics.
Get this card and sell the other one for $600-650 as open box.

Also get a 64gb memory kit, might as well take advantage of the quad channel capability of the x99 setup. I think if gaming is the intended purpose a 6900k would be better as they typically oc higher than a 6950x

I would go with an i7 7700k, and grab a pair of m2 pcie ssds.

@SupaHos, 32GB is already overkill for gaming, 64GB is insanity unless you're rendering.
@Robert Ostrowski, he won the PC in a competition, this isn't a build log, that'd be silly.

He didn't win the PC he won money. Okay so get a quad channel 32 GB kit. Either way of I had a x99 setup id run quad channel no doubt.

Oooooh crap!

My bad guys, sorry for the above comments in that case, but with the RAM 16GB is still heaps.

I just automatically associated winning a competition with winning a PC, not winning cash, mb.
@OP, what is your budget?
I'll set you up with a full setup and peripherals with headphones + monitor.
