Planning on ordering this build today/tomorrow - Are there any important notes/changes anyone could offer? 

Particularly:

  • RAM - I settled on this choice as it seemed like a good balance between speed (2800MHz) and latency (CL14). Appropriate choice?
  • CPU Cooler - Should this CPU cooler be sufficient for most reasonable cases of overclocking?

And then any other comments/suggestions?

Thank you!

Solid build. If you're SLI'ing in the future, 850W would be ideal. Otherwise, you'd be fine with a 550W unit for a single card.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

750w is more than enough for SLI

Seeing how TPU saw a GTX 1080Ti drawing 300W by itself, 850W would be adequate for two in SLI on top of the CPU and other components.
