[jack snee]

looking to turn this build into a 3 monitor setup is there anything you would change or any possible problems, for example, having a 3fan 1080

I personally prefer blower style GPUs, and I probably wouldn't change anything there.

please don't build with a kaby lake i5, ryzen 5 1600 is a better option or even the 8600k

i would get a better processor. the i7 7700k would fit neatly with that gtx 1080, if your wallet allows it, that is.

Maybe get the Noctua NH-U14S for cooling the cpu? I heard it is one of the best cpu coolers for the price

I agree in the fullest. Besides that its a great choice. I'm a fan of 3 fan design (no pun intended), but it's up to aesthetics.

Three fan design will usually have better cooling performance due to increased airflow. Blower style is designed for smaller cases.

 

Edit: The blower style is a lot cheaper, so it's up to price or performance.
