what i said was correct it was just out of contects as i did not read the quote obove that they are talking abaut specific models . Sounds like you get influence by adverts to much. 

 

Personally i would go with the AMD as they heave cheaper mobo and futhure better upgradability, 

 

For GPU you get better bunck for the buck by geting two 1080 . sure it is more expensive but the preformence per $ is better. 

 

Apologes for not reading that quote 

 

I can get a 1080ti for £689 whereas two 1080's would cost me £1050 almost double the price and considering when I use to SLI two Titans only a handful of my games worked with it I've always gone with single more powerful card since. at that price though the 1080ti seems more sensible to me?

You're much better off with the 1080Ti. No SLI issues to deal with & less power. Many games can't even use SLI well enough to make it worth it.

The two I can get is the Asus Strix 1080ti or the MSI Gaming X 1080ti

It dose not matte what it is . I ment Criptocurency mining etc and sumurized it all in one word (Bitcoin) This is not the poin . Maybe it is Etherum or Dodge Coin whatever it is the prces are now extreamly stupid and it is worth waiting 

no, lul, look at msrp, lppk at current price, 1070 and 1080 in the UK is around 50 pounds over msrp, 1080ti is at msrp, OP has budget for a 1080ti, cryptocurrency comments shouldnt be mentioned as its an unnecessary detail

tell me what you think of that, strix mobos have great support for m.2 rgb.. etc

can save around 50 pounds by going for strix f over strix e, for all intents and purposes they are the same

rgb ram because its dope 32 gb because of the budget 4x8 because mobos look better when all dimms are populated

strix 1080ti, again, can save money and go for a different one but all leds in this list can sync

i tried to work around the budget but you cant really get away with 1080ti sli unfortunately

I can save quite a bit on the CPU but I've got to wait till  November 30th but I don't mind doing that for £50 it's worth it I can get it from Germany for £380  As for GPU's I can only get the MSI Gaming X or the Strix card so it will probably be the strix as I don't like the Cooler on the MSI card being red if it was silver or black then I would've considered it but reds really going to limit what colour theme I can go with

I was kind of considering a micro ATX build with a ASUS Z370-G but it doesn't have any internal i/o cover like the Strix E which isn't a big deal it just looks sick with the cover over those ugly metal ports

I may in the future get hard-line water-cooling with White fluid and RGB the crap out the PC the fluid being white will reflect the colours being set by the RGB lights

Actually thinking about it the Strix-E looks a lot better and won't look stupid with a giant GPU in it haha

this is also true, strix E is definitely more premium feeling boards
