Due to the high budget of this build, I definitely recommend waiting a month.

Both the Ryzen series CPUs and the 1080Ti will be out. Both will drive down the prices of this current build, or make your future build stronger.

For that budget I would go with liquid cooling, and that PSU is more than enough.

Gaming.
I know its overkill but looking at the prices of the video cards its not that much more. i do some very long periods of gaming and really want to be safe for the next 5+ years. games that are coming out are getting more and more graphic intense,
I agree on the cooling part i too am not really a fan of liquid cooling (liquid and electronics dont mix lol) i have never used one tho im sure i have plenty of room in my case.

using a Zalman GT1000 case
