Upgrading soon, including a 1080 ti. Opinions wanted.

[DuelRevolvers]

So now that the 1080 ti custom cards are going to be released soon, I can finally build my new PC.  My budget is around 3k wl some flexibility. I'm going to use it for Gaming, Video Editing, and other Adobe software so I'm trying to go for a good balance. I plan on getting another 27" monitor for dual screens later, but a cheaper one. I'm open to opinions and/or feedback on anything. I already have enough people ridiculing me for getting a 6850K instead of a Ryzen 7.  I haven't really made up my mind on that yet, so I'd like to focus attention on everything else. Thanks, guys!

Id suggest Ryzen 7. more cores for less then the 6850k and significantly cheaper motherboards.

Get a different cooler. I would recommend the EK Predator 360 over that. Otherwise everything else looks good.

I forgot about the EK Predator 360, I would like to get that if possible. Are you saying they're unavailable now? When is this modular system coming out?

All of EK's Predator line and other AIO lines are marked as 'EOL' on their site, I assume they're being replaced with the MLC kits

I only did that, because I was trying to decide which one to get, 32gb or 64bg. I'm sticking with 64gb.
