Just wondering but any reason you went with the 1080? Because that's hell of a lot of horsepower that's not needed unless you're running a crazy setup + streaming.

I am going to be running multiple instances of FRAPs and other screen capture software 24/7 even when AFK, encoding those videos, streaming, etc...

Kidding...)

The best bang for your buck is going to be the 1060 6GB which is still extremely futureproof and will run most anything you throw at it for ~1/3rd the price.

Also the 1070 will do everything you want for 200 less.

I actually toned it down to a EVGA GTX 1070 FTW Hybrid since most of what I have read says that the 1080 is not going to give me much of an advantage on anything that I do.

Never spend under $100 on your powersupply. It is the most important piece and likely the only thing that will last through to your next build. I've had too many friends buy fancy parts and then not invest in a powersupply that doesn't kill them all.

I'm actually going with this power supply -

Can't beat those power spikes when you turn on a PC.

I've got a pretty solid APC surge protector / battery back-up unit.
