Hey guys,

Do you have any recommendations for changes/ additions in my components list?

I am not sure if I need an SLI bridge.

Workflow:

Programs:
Adobe programs
Maya/Blender
recording and streaming

Gaming:
Witcher
skyrim
Dota 2
League of legends
and a few more

Update!!!

I should have mentioned.

1. I am going to overclock

2. I prefer Intel because the is an official Intel recommended store nearby.
(AKA 90% of the time if you break your stuff they replace it.)

3.I love my RGB XD
 
Solution
Better changes can definitely be made. You will need an SLI Bridge, but I am not sure if it comes with that model from Asus. AFAIK, their STRIX versions have HB SLI Bridges.

Blower style cards have their advantages in SLI Builds, but Dual Fans generally still give more performance.

Below your max budget. For those softwares you listed, SLI is not a game changer. The i9 would serve you better.

This Ryzen build has two cores less than the i9 build, but allows for enough budget for 1080Ti SLI.
