Hey I have Xeon E5 1630 v3 4 cores hyper threaded at 3.70ghz 8gb or ram because I'm using a workstation I have a server board and getting a new 1080ti in September. Now my question is I have 700$ and should I use that money to buy another 1080ti for sli and for MAX OVERKILL AT 1440p or should I just stay with the one 1080ti and upgrade to better case(the one I have now sucks cause it's a pre built and barely to no airflow in case) new motherboard new psu and 8gb of more ram for a total of 16gb of ram and keep my CPU. Thanks for the help:)

Stay with 1 1080Ti and get a better case. While although the 1080Ti's keep pretty cool (Mines is at 27 on idle), you'll only be able to get these temps with a case that has decent airflow, as well as an area that has good ambient temperatures.

"The only thing that matters right now is that you're here, and you're safe."
