Solution
Good looking build, but December is pretty far away. There may be other parts released before then for you to consider. I might switch to the GSkill V Series RAM since it's a later design.
Good plan but as said a lot can change between now and December, especially prices with how unstable the pound is and it sounds like early next year Article 50 is going to be submitted, if confirmed I reckon the pound may slide further before the years out

Hey there,

I’d change your build, OP, as follows:
- drop the second 1080, as SLI being so lightly supported in games, it’s probably not worth it. Also, the 1080 packs pretty of punch
- go for 500GB SSD and 2TB hard drive: games are huge nowadays: Hitman is 70 GB, I think, with still 2 eps not yet released and Doom is currently 50 GB.
- PSU: afford a gold or platinum, and yes 850 W

Apart from that, great build !

PS: also, indulge yourself with serious OC
