And in addition to that get EK custom water-loop. A good one will cost you $1500.
 


It all looks good, Im going to stick with 1x1080ti and no mechanical hard drive due to noise/temp, want it as silent as possible
 


With custom loop water-cooling the PC will remain silent and temps will be in control. I will provide you the list for custom loop.
 


water cooling isnt my thing, it seems complicated, and if it isnt, then Id rather stick to air for now

never done watercooling, yes I may be missing out, but it doesnt do anything for me, just a lot of hassle
 


Then add the CPU cooler listed below:

CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X62 Liquid CPU Cooler ($149.99 @ SuperBiiz)

And add fans listed below(get as many fans as you feel are required)

Case Fan: be quiet! SilentWings 3 PWM High-Speed 77.6 CFM 140mm Fan ($19.49 @ SuperBiiz)
 


I see you picked https://pcpartpicker.com/product/vhkwrH/asus-monitor-rogswiftpg348q, whats the diff between that and acer predator?

Low profile Corsair LPX so that the DIMMs will stay out of the way of the big air tower cooler.
Scythe Mugen 5, big enough to be competitive on cooling-performance-to-noise compare to some of the well regarded coolers like the D14 / D15 / R1 / DR3P (CPU in the review is a 130W i7 3930k 6c/12t @ 4Ghz SandyBridge-E, compare to the 95W 7700k 4c/8t @ 4.2Ghz Kabylake in this build).

Single 960 Pro 1TB should be sufficient enough to forgo HDD for games storage (in the near term at least). Side effect, not needing any SATA power cables from PSU.

EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FE as placeholder since Newegg did have some MSI GTX 1080 Ti Armor OC 11GB in stock for a while before running out them, indicating the other higher end AIB solutions are arriving soon.

Seasonic PRIME Titanium with 12 years of warranty as the top quality PSU. Power draw from build should be in ~300 (no OC CPU&GPU) - 400W (heavy OC on both) stressed so a 850W capacity will result in minimal to zero fan operations from the PSU.

And, the W10 Pro installer come to you on a ready-to-use USB as a Retail license, i.e. the license can be moved to a new build in the future.

Performance is nearly same but I choose ASUS over Acer because of build Quality.
 


Custom water-cooling has become lot more efficient reliable and easy to do when compared to what it was 4-5Yrs back. It is not much of hassle but it dose provide you lot quieter and cooler system. It also increases the life of components. But yes there is bit of work and time which goes into setting it up.

 
I would argue all of those point on "quieter and cooler system and improving life of components" Like i said nh-D15 will outperform most AIO coolers and uses only fans where AIO mostly use 2 fans plus pump so quieter i don't think so when especially comparing to noctua fans another problem is failure points on AIO there are a lot more than on a heatsink with a fan pump being the most common one and usually means replacing the whole AIO where air cooling just replace the fan which almost never happens.

@Hellfire:
https://pcpartpicker.com/b/VKHhP6

The Cryorig R1 is about the same size as the Dark Rock 3 Pro in this build and I just don't see how the Gskill TridentZ could sit underneath the R1. The D15 is even bigger.

Please remember PCPP notice:
"* Some physical dimension restrictions cannot (yet) be automatically checked, such as cpu cooler / RAM clearance with modules using tall heat spreaders."

And Gigabyte GTX 1080 Ti AORUS/Xtreme Edition was available on Newegg for a moment.
 

D15 has no issues with RAM as far as the heatsink goes and the fan can be moved up to accommodate different sizes.

 
The D15 second fan is only 32mm from the MB; the TridentZ is 44mm tall; the D15 standard height is 165mm -> at the millimeters precision you'd have the D15, then, standing at ~177mm, or 3mm from the 180mm maximum clearance for the Fractal Design R5.
 


It works fine i had that cooler in fractal r4 and phanteks enthoo pro moving the fan up 1cm isnt anything.

 

16Gb is fine only reason i put 32Gb was because you said unlimited budget as far as speed you actually wont notice any difference coming from ddr3 it would only apply to heavy memory usage applications that regular people don't use but in things like games you wont be able to tell.

 


Well you are correct to some extent especially Noctua Cryorig and bequiet are the brands which produce coolers with lowest noise possible. But when it comes to performance none of the air-coolers can maintain the system as cool as Custom loop does without compromising on performance and decreasing the life of the components. That being said Air-cooling is not bad at all. I only provided the option of custom water loop was because OP said he did not have budget limitation.
