deffo mate, id go with evga over corsair any day of the week.

That's funny because the RMx is quite a bit better than the EVGA G2 or GQ. Doesn't justify the 50% price increase, but it is better. Going by brand is a no-no

Corsair AIOs aren't amazing. That doesn't mean all their products are bad. Their RAM is great and so are their lower midrange to high-end PSUs. They collaborate with CWT to make great units.

Options 1, 3, and 4 are all good options. For SLI 1080s a 750W is fine.

The grey CX750M? I don't see it being that bad (I'd still take a GQ though)

I mean, I wouldn't do it myself since sleeve-bearing fan but the quality of components otherwise I would trust with SLI 1080s.

 

The GQ or RMx would be my choice ofc

I rather like corsairs crystal series cases, they're very nice.
