Anyways to improve on this fantasy gaming rig? I quiz.

Case - IN-WIN D Frame (ATX) Red

Motherboard - ASUS MAXIMUS VIII Extreme

CPU - INTEL CORE I7 6700K
CPU cooler- CRYORIG A80

Memory - GSKILL TridentZ Black 2x16GB DDR4 3200mhz

GPU - GTX1080 x2 SLI

SSD - SAMSUNG 850 EVO 500GB x2 Raid 0

Monitor - ACER 34" X34-IPS

Fans - Noctua NF-F12 PPC-3000 PWM x3

PSU - Seasonic P-1200

This seems to be the best gaming rig setup I can think of, is there anymore improvements that could be made, lol?

I think you need to do a lot more research.

Well you're throwing a lot of money at it but there's a few problems.

First your CPU doesn't match up with you motherboard.

Second there's little gain on RAIDing the evo from the articles I've read. You'd be better off with going with a NVM like Samsung 950 Pro if you really need the speed.

Third, the case doesn't use case fans.

Fourth, the case is a M-ITX case. So you're not fitting that motherboard in there.

I am specifically talking about the ATX case, and yes I researched and it fits even an extended ATX Motherboard, and I have read that raid 0 on SSD does make a huge difference so it's what you read over mine lol. Besides that I corrected the motherboard so that it fits the skylake CPU. Finally the case do use fans, at least the ATX one, it fits 4 fans in fact, it can even mount a radiator on the front, by removing the drive bay, it's highly customizable, you could even fit an entire liquid cooling system by opening the bottom latches lol, you can have 3 120 mm fans blowing from the bottom of the case in a normal build, it will be a much cooler setup than any closed case airflow design lol. No one had yet to dispute me that this is the best possible, most maxed out for gaming build possible, this is what I like to know!

Perhaps we're talking about a different case then. This is what comes up on a search for the case

As for if its the best possible, no its not. You're basing it on a card that hasn't hit the stores yet so no benchmarks are possible, in an SLI configuration which only means you're willing to throw cash at a build and not research what SLI does in gaming and how it can make things worse depending on the game. You're using entry level SSD's, and not even the fast Evos, in a configuration that does absolutely nothing for gaming. Your monitor will display colors really well and fill a wall nicely, shame its refresh rate caps at 60hz with a 4ms response time. But then I sincerely doubt you know the difference between IPS and TN and why one is favored in gaming and not the other. Choosing an AIO, while a good unit, for a "Maxed out gaming build possible" instead of doing a custom water cooling system when you have hardware that will support it shows that your choice in motherboards was clearly just because it was the most expensive rather than a thought out or researched choice. Even your PSU, while a very well rated unit, was selected due to price rather than need. Your system as configured is pulling maybe 600 watts at full load. And while I always recommend having a bit higher of a ceiling that needed, a 1200watt PSU is simply going to waste in this config. Maybe the only thing you got right was the RAM selection. Like Huvik said "I think you need to do a lot more research."

You are assuming a lot lol, I obviously stated the case as ATX not Mini 😀 as for the SSD they run up well against the PROs basically miniscule difference, but in Raid 0 they wrecked the PROs at half the price hehe. AS for the SLI, you haven't heard about the new HB bridge, and couple that with a GSYNC monitor, it should reduce the very occasional stutter to minimal hehe. That monitor have a readily accessible overclock to 100 MHZ and gaming at such high resolutions at 100 MHZ with 2 GTX 1080 would be a breeze! Of course I know about IPS monitor which is why I selected what I did lol. There's no way for a 600 Watt PSU to run a system like this fully overclocked and in full load, that is just a disaster waiting to happen, as a 4 way Titan SLI had the PSU running at close to 1400 Watt, 1200 Watt is pretty much future for the next 6 years lol. With such a setup all you need to do is to change the GPUs and still get close to max performance for a very long time hehe, but if you have a better build to suggest, please do so.
