every thing looks fine, i cant recommend sli id go with a 1080ti, is it a gaming or productivity pc?

Step one... get a 1080 Ti. Two 1080's in SLI are a bit more powerful, but you'll run into a lot more problems, as not all games support SLI. And a 1080 Ti is basically a slightly limited Titan XP.

Thanks for the advice mabye two 1080's is a bit over kill and if it means i'll encounter more issues i'm definitely gonna drop it!

1.- If you're going to game only all day, 16GB ram is more than fine, no need to have 64 because you'd not know how to use them all and is a waste of money.

2.- I suggest try to put 2 HDD 4T on RAID 0 and 2 SSD too for faster speeds.

3.- The PSU is overkill, gold or even platinium will work fine.

4.- TWO GTX 1080 SLI FOR 1080P GAMING? ARE YOU OKAY?

Something more than a ultrawide 1080p you could do some 1440p or 4k gaming with the 1080ti

Alright if you're doing a lot of editing or this is a gaming workstation I understand the sli 1080 and 32GB of ram. But is it a workstation and gaming pc? If so Ryzen 1700.

This Is A Build For Editing And Gaming (If that's what you plan on doing) This can also obviously be used just for gaming , it's already good.

Get a Windows 10 Key from reddit or something. They're cheap asf. This build saves you about 900 pounds if you buy from the listed websites.

Why the heck you want 960GB SSD, 8TB HDD and 64GB RAM?

Here's a build for you: two 1080TIs in SLI

(AIO usually sucks, don't get it unless you want better aesthetics)

Actually, IMO a single 1080TI is enough for 1440p 165Hz:
