Will you be doing streaming, video editing, 3D work at all? If you are just gaming, I would go with a 6700K or wait for the 7700K.

I see needless performance. Why 1080 SLI? Do you plan on playing GTA-V Redux on 4K?

I'd rather spend just $2000 on the PC and upgrade again in 3-4 years than drop 4 grand all at once. Future proofing is cost-inefficient, no graphics card is gonna stay relevant for 4 years. Consider the performance degradation of components as well as warranties not being able to keep up.

Spend $2000 now on a high end system and spend another $2000 in 3-4 years to update the build.

 

It's either short term performance boost for $4000 or spend $2000 twice to upgrade and update the build leading to better performance in the long run.

I know this is a gaming rig;  you know this is a gaming rig;  the i7 6700K is the best gaming CPU on the market and will do fine recording and even editing video:

If you get two GTX 1080s, I will come to your house and slap you.

No one needs two 1080s to play modern games.  No one needs a single 1080 to play modern games well.  If you think the performance of dual 1080s will not be surpassed by a single GPU within 2 years, you would be kidding yourself.

 

As some of the guys mentioned, grab a single 1080.  In two years, grab the next gen card.  It will probably be 50% faster.

 

I was kidding, in order to make this point.  You do what you want.  It is your purchase.:D

At 1080p (1920x1080), the GTX 1070 will fulfill those conditions for years.  As you increase resolution (example: 2560x1440), the GTX 1070 is fine for today's games but might struggle to maintain 60 FPS at that resolution in a year or two.

 

If you look at my build, I popped in the most capable, bleeding edge monitor there is.  The reason being that if you want to spend all this money, a monitor is something that will outlast the GPU many times over.

 

Grab a 1080, sure it is excessive.  If you find that you need more power at some point... THEN buy a second one.

 

Software is developed with the available hardware in mind, not the other way around.

 

At 1080p, a $1500 (monitor included) PC would be more than enough for an awesome gaming PC.  The 6700K will last a minimum of five years for gaming (at any common resolutions)... more like ten.
