I decided to go ahead and future proof the hell out of my next setup. I'm content with my decisions. If games ever require more than 8GB of power, I can just SLI with an upgraded power supply.

I don't see any HDDs in that setup. Are you planning to add them later or use the ones that you currently have?

Also, I'd personally go for a 1070 since it comes at a better price point and hey, we can always add another one down the line and still have a relatively decent setup.

Good thing you mentioned it. In-case anyone was interested, I already have my peripherals from my current build, and plan to just take my 500GB SSD and 1TB HDD and place them into my new build.

Great. Do post pictures once you're done with the setup.

Also, I so wish they would let us pick the accent on the graphic card. I can see that you're going with a black and white theme but you don't have much of a choice regarding the graphic card and are stuck with that red-ish accent.

I plan to post pictures! And yeah I know what you mean. As I'm sure you can see, my theme is white. White case, white MOBA. Tried to find white RAM sticks but I love the ones I currently have. The factory model of the 1080 is white, but its 120$ more and it's not overclocked to 1.721GHz. It's only 1.61GHz. I'm also getting aftermarket fans with white LED's, and some LED strips to go alongside the base of the case.

Why you getting 4x4GB ram? Why not get 2x8GB and run dual channel?

You planning to OC?
