So, Liquid Cooler recommendations? If a Air Cooler is better tell me and what i should buy.
PC:
Intel I7-7700k
GTX 1080 TI AMP Extreme Edition (2-Way SLI)
G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32GB DDR4 3200MHz
WD - Caviar Blue 1TB
Samsung 850 EVO Series 500GB
NZXT - S340 White (If a Air Cooler is better, you probably tell me Noctua NH-D15 but the case don't have space, no problem, can i change to Corsair - 760T, is my first budget)
Corsair - HX1000i

Most cases show that the top air coolers perform equally if not slightly better than most All In One water coolers. But Water coolers have less space consumption.

I would personally suggest (IMO):

Air Cooler: Cryorig R1 or NOCTUA NH-D15 / NH U14S
Air cooler (budget): DEEPCOOL GAMMAXX 400

AIO: I've always found the Kraken X61 or the Corsair H100i V2 very good.

For me, Noctua NH-D15 wins. And i think you can overclock! I do not care about space, thank you very much

unless you living beyond polar circle, you need a case with way better airflow to house 2x300watt GPUs and this CPU.

As a side note, i really don't understand the SLI (or CF). first it's much more problems than benefit. second, a 4 cores CPU is already too weak for a single card and you pairing it with two. upcoming 6 cores coffee lake/ryzen 7/intel X99 or X299 makes much more sense. and even than, there is no monitor that can benefit from such GPU power - 4K 60Hz is max challenge . By the time 120Hz monitors appear, both volta and vega will be out. the former will probably do 30-40% better than Pascal.

Oh, thank you very much! What do you think now?

GPU: GTX 1080 TI Zotac AMP Edition
CPU: AMD - Ryzen 7 1800X
Motherboard: MSI - B350 Tomahawk ATX
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 32GB DDR4-3200MHz
Storage: Samsung - 850 Pro Series 1TB Solid State Drive
Case: Corsair - 760T Black ATX Full Tower
Monitor: LG - 25UM58-P 25.0" 2560x1080 75Hz

(I know that the GTX 1080 TI are for 4k but I would like to have many FPS with some mods, if it still does not hold then I will go for a GTX 1080)

EDIT: Now I generally change my mind and I'm thinking of a liquid cooler, what you recommend?

I think that:
1. 6-8 cores ryzen is better with X370 board since the VRM on B350 is crap when it comes to overclocking.
2. I'd not bother with plain SATA SSD today. NVMe drives are considerably faster and not that much more expensive. like the Samsung 960 EVO.
3. 75Hz monitor can display up to 75 FPS. even GTX 1070 will do it in most games. GTX 1080 will definitely do the job. there is some benefit to have more FPS in a form of slightly lower input lag, but it's not that noticeable. better look for 100+ HZ monitor.
4. make sure that RAM is compatible with ryzen since it has many issues with RAM running over 2133MHz

I do not recommend getting into liquid cooling unless you want to do a custom loop - expensive hobby. simply because there is almost no practical benefit in it these days. decent air coolers perform the same or even better than AIOs at lower noise.

Personally, I'd wait to see what coffee lake and vega will offer - both should be out in august. at least they might change the pricing.
