New Gaming Rig

[Stormblessed]

Just looking for some outside opinion on a new build I'm starting. Advice on getting it faster, better parts than what I have selected with the same specs, etc. I know the SSD might be overkill but I intend to install the OS and all my video games onto it. Also the same with the Hybrid Drive but it will be pictures and movies mostly. I plan to add another 1080ti in the near future just cant afford to buy two of them with the build right now. All case fans will be bought from a local PC store which is why they aren't included. Any advice on the rig will be greatly appreciated.

Intel - Core i7-7700K 4.2GHz Quad-Core Processor
Corsair - H100i v2 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Asus - STRIX Z270-E GAMING ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
G.Skill - Trident Z RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3200 Memory
Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 1TB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Seagate - 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive
Asus - GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB STRIX GAMING Video Card
Corsair - 850W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Thank you in advance,

What resolution are you gaming at? If it's anything less then 4K then I would not go for SLI as it will be a waste. Also if your just gaming/general use then 16gb of RAM is plenty.

I currently have two 4k monitors. And I was thinking of dropping to 16GB as well, which is what my current build has.

I would actually drop the memory down to 16gb, then use those savings for a better CPU cooler such as the Cryorig H7 or a be Quiet Dark Rock as the i7-7700K runs quite warm. Besides that the build looks good.

Did not know it ran hot, thank you. I saw a lot of recommendations for the liquid cooled heat sinks.

Some AIO's are good for it but also higher end Noctua/be Quiet Dark Rock air coolers would be sufficient for cooling and overclocking.

Haven't dabbled in OC yet. I might try it on the rig I have now once I get my other one up and running.

Would suggest the Scythe Mugen 5 for light to moderate oc on that 7700k. Go for the cryorig r1 for heavy oc. And the psu is an overkill for a single 1080ti. Get a corsair rmx 650.
Also, get a 7200rpm HDD. Think again if you really need a 1tb ssd. Cuz crucial mx300 525gb is ~150 bucks.

I switched the RAM, MOBO and GPU. Switched the RAM down to 16GB and decided to do some LED. Saving money is great but I've been saving for this for a while now and have a total budget that includes a better chair of about 3.5k. If I can save some of that its fine but if I use most of it I won't be upset, its what I've saved the money for. Also I plan on another 1080ti down the road just not right now. This is sort of the "dream build" I guess. Not trying to upgrade it for a very long time after the second GPU.

You can go for 1080ti sli, but I would suggest you to get 1 of it and replace it when the top of the line Volta gpu comes out. Something like the 2080ti.
So if you plan to stick with a single gpu, get this power supply https://pcpartpicker.com/product/VwR48d/seasonic-power-supply-ssr750rm
