So I just got a my first jobs, at taco bell (amazing, I know) and I'm being paid $11 an hour, working up to 18 hours a week. So that's $10,300 per year, assuming I get the full 18 hours a week. Obviously there will be taxes and such, but all of the money is disposable income. The two things I was before i'm 18 is a car, and a PC. I already have some shitty, 750 ti machine I bought pre-built for $500 two years ago, so i'm going full gaming enthusiast, with a completely unnecessarily high budget for this. It includes everything, three monitors, a mic, headphones, even a pop filter because i like spending my money on unnecessary things. I know that a year from now, there will be i9's and new GPU's, but for this build I made here in June of 2017 do what I want it to? Not sure about case and fans. Any recommendations? Can dual 1080 ti in sli even push this many pixels?

I'd go newer on the SSD. 960 evo is way faster, and lasts longer with newer technology for a little bit more for the same storage.

Also you won't need a 1300 watt outdated powersupply, it simply doesnt require that much power. Go with something like the newer G3 1000 Watt, which only costs like 150 at amazon and has superior performance. You will never see a power pull greater than 700watts with that setup while playing games.

Otherwise great build, but i don't think any cards are gonna be able to run that kind of resolution on 100/165 hertz in any newer game.

That's very true. By the time I have the money, everything will be different. But this is an outline, when the time comes it will generally be the same build, just with whatever the new parts are that can handle 3x 1440p (or x3 HD) in 2018.
