Is this a solid build?

Already have 1080ti. The CPU cooler is compatible added a Cooler Master AMD AM4 CPU Cooler Upgrade kit

Two points. First, there are better PSU's than the CX series from Corsair

Since you don't need a 750W, a 650W model is sufficient. Here are four suggestions, I like the Seasonic SSR-650RM.

Second, I have concerns that the 1500X will bottleneck the GTX 1080 Ti. It is a little difficult to say for sure but this document shows the i5-7500 (equivalent performance) starting to bottleneck a GTX 1080.

Not sure if this is an issue.

I do agree with Imsqam, for sure you don't need 750w psu.
Also if your gaming, go with the intel rig.

The intel rig is way better as mentioned above. Also, what will you be using the build for?

I didn't pick the 1080ti, a friend thought he could just pop it into his current build with no problems. Its a VR build and I went with 750 because it was the same price as the 650w I found at the time.

Went with AMD/Ryzen because a bunch of people on other forums told me it was better and Intel/i5 was over budget. It's for VR, csgo, overwatch and as a workstation.
