This would be a pretty nice build. Although I kinda pushed the budget a bit.

Didn't know how much RGB u wanted to see I went with something minimal. Only the mobo and RAM has EGB. They can be sync-ed together using Asus' Aura Sync software.

Found a cheaper 1080Ti with a triple fan config instead.

Went with a water cooling option if that's what you need. It's a dual-fan rad so it can be placed at the top.

Case comes with 2 fans so I added 2 more so all the slots will be used.

Also for Windows, this is an official version, if you want to something cheaper, Ebay sells 100% legit OEM licenses for about 10$.
