My budget is in the range of $2700 USD and I'm still deciding whether to go with an AMD Ryzen system or a Intel i7 7700k build.

I went with a black/white theme here, not sure what you like. You probabaly noticed the $500 under budget pricemark as well :3 

 

What I suggest you do is buy one of the high end EKWB custom loop starter kits and do a custom loop on the GPU & processor.

 

Cost of 

370 for the kit

and 139.99 for the GPU block

510 total   Exactly $2700 for an  insanely good build

While the aesthitics are, I agreee, totally subjective the performance this PC is unmatched.  The only way to improve performance would be to add another 1080 ti, something that is rather unnecessary right now.  A good custom loop will allow you to OC the GPU to insane  levels of performance, maybe even more  than if you got SLI

 

What do you prefer in looks anyways?
