First time builder, happens to have two 980ti hybird for sli and a Titan XP, have all monitors and Peripherals. I did a lot of research and here is my plan,
CPU: since bio update is not complete, 1700 might look like a good choice in the short run, that makes 1800x not worth so much now, but I want that extra XFR so I would go for the 1700x ( chose Kraken-x62 so)
GPU: want to sli 980ti hybird for a better content creating environment, ( might sell Titian XP to get 1080ti SLI)
Motherboard: no "best" motherboard yet, but the taichi one has a 12+4 power pin, WiFi 2.4/5 GHz Antennas, 7.1ch al1220 audio, and the taichi logo.......I want the best value one.
Case: I was looking at the Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ATX ATX Mid T case, but I want to do sli and put my 280mm radiator at front, and my two hirbirds radiator,, so I changed my mind to get a felxable full tower case for better air flow and placemnt
PSU: all overcloking, 850 good?

at the end it's really hard to pcik the right ryzen7, cuz 1700 had lower temp for overclocking, but not every chip has that 3.9 ticket.
Any suggestion appreciated.
