I would swap the PSU for an 850 watt PSU at least.

Made a couple tweaks:

The CPU cooler was just to give extra cooling capacity but you can definitely swap it back out for the H100i v2

Why not the focus plus gold ones?

-Frequencies DON'T represent everything and in many cases that is true (referring to Individual CPU Clocks).

 

Mention me if you want to summon me sooner or later

Note 10, S10, Samsung becomes Apple, Zen 2, 3700X, Renegade X lol

Not by an awful lot, and I personally don't see you needing more than 750w at maximum, and that's with 2 cards.

No. A second GTX 1080 Ti would bring the estimated max draw to 720W. An 850W would be better, one might conceivably consider something even larger. But unless a second gpu is a surety I would stick with 850W. SeaSonic - FOCUS Plus Gold 850W

 

Unless the system has to be acquired immediately, an i7-8700K would vastly improve the build.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
