Currently I have an x99 6800k and two 1080's founders editions, I do have plans to upgrade from the 6800k to a 1900x on thread ripper while also getting a monoblock for the cpu. I don't know if Nvidia is about to drop new cards in a few months if its worth water cooling 1080s at this point I could wait and get all the other watercooling supplies like the res,pump,rads fluid etc and by that time hope cards have dropped and then new water blocks for those cards have been produced. I'm just unsure if to wait or not I know GTC is in a few days but rumor states Nvidia won't be releasing the 2000 series cards there.

What’s wrong with the 6800k, I mean what are you doing that’s so demanding? Unless you just want the threadripper just for the heck of it. Maybe more information about what you are doing

Blender lots and lots of blender for clients and rendering models for beam.ng drive, and of course games all at 4k.

I would just wait and see if Nvidia releases anything, if not you could sell your 1080s and get a Titan7 V if it's within your budget
