Built my first rig in 2011 around a GTX 560ti with an i5-2500k. I've upped my budget and decided it's time to take advantage of a 1080:

The total is a little bit different as I used Micro Center for its i7 + M5 combo discount ($439.98), as well as the monitor (currently $549.99). Also got the video card at $649.99 through B&H.
What do you guys think? If I get another 1080 card next year for SLI, would 750w be enough? If I get another EVGA 1080 card that's FTW instead of FTW DT would that create any issues with SLI?
