Looks like a very powerful build. I currently have the Phantom Tower case and it fits my dual 1080 TI's finely with lots of room.

Only thing I would recommend is possibly a more powerful PSU, 550watt is barely enough to run the PC and may cause issues down the road. I would shoot for around 750 watt to be safe in the long run.

That is bs. 550w is easily enough for this system. In fact, this system likely uses ~100w - 150w at the load OP is using it at. Definitely no need for more than 550w, unless they're for some reason upgrading to sli 1080ti.

Also, you mention a 'more powerful' PSU, and yet you recommend one much worse performing/quality than the current. You also mention long warranty even though the PSU you suggested has 5 years less than op's current selection.

OP, you current PSU is perfectly fine. No need to change it.
