What works best for the Asus Rampage VI Extreme?

[amerifax]

What works best for the Asus Rampage VI Extreme? My plan is to build off the VI. I will use the max memory, 128. Also the fastest Video card. This might be my last build. But that's what I said 2 builds prior. I would like to stay with Asus products but not locked in. Speed is important. Price is also important but not if it means losing speed.

So far I'm considering the following:
- i9-7980XE ( Seems to be the fastest available.
- Corsair Memory (128) not sure which yet.)
- Asus Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 If that is the fastest?)

I also would like to be able to boot off a M.2 (not sure if that is possible as yet. My plan is to use as many M.2 as the system will allow. Even to add a PCIe card for more, if possible.

fastest gpu is "titan xp"

Sorry to say I never heard of the titan xp. Would it work with the Vi. How much faster, generally speaking?

Is said not for games, probably mean no driver support

Titan V works for games just fine, but Nvidia claims the entire Titan line-up isn't for games.

Best bang for the buck is going to be the GTX1080 Ti which is just a little slower than a Titan Xp.

However, an 18-core CPU doesn't do you much for games. You can save a lot of money with an i7-8700k and a Z370 motherboard. The Rampage is a very expensive and feature rich motherboard, if this is just for games, again a huge waste of money. Same with 128GB of memory. 16GB is enough for high end gaming, 32GB if you want to be insecure about it.

i7-8700k 6 core (5+Ghz)
Z370 ASUS ROG Strix or you could go with the Rampage line, still better than $600 at $300. Hero or Formula should be good enough.
2x8GB memory kit (or 4x8GB, or 2x16GB)
GTX1080Ti
And a fast NVMe boot drive, and a nice 1 or 2 TB SATA SSD for bulk game storage.

Quick and dirty and it is still $3000. Titan V is literally $3000, so that would add $2000 to this if you replaced the GPU. Bumping up to X299 and something like a 10 core CPU would add another $500 or so.
