Unless you're doing some heavy editing or just really really really want to burn money you don't need sixty four gb of ram

And with the graphics card, I would suggest just one. You'll get more issues with SLI that you'll find games that run perfectly with it

Shipping sucks

with the 64 gb of ram you have in there i assume you are edditing. If so i reccomend more than a TB of mass storage.

You have two different monitors. If one is meant to be a purely utility monitor you can get away with seriously cheaping out in it. This one has worked great fir me so far: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CMKOVPQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1477929011&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=aoc+27+monitor&dpPl=1&dpID=51cRYSovWnL&ref=plSrch

Where those two mismatched monitors are nearly the same price why not get 2 of the 144hz ones?

why not get a titan xp practically the same price as 2 1080 and you dont have to worry about games that support sli. better off with 1 powerful card than 2 cards that are as much powerful as one, cost the same, but lack support. also I would recommend the h115i since that case can support it. and the monitors why not a Acer Predator X34 34.0"? cost about the same as the two monitors in total.
