    WOW. What made you choose the parts you chose? I'm assuming this isn't just for gaming with a cpu that monstrous? What's the third 1080 for now that 3 way sli isn't officially supported anymore?

    Either way I'm jealous the full thing is gonna look amazing those strix coolers are sweet.

    that's gonna be a monster build. welcome to the Strix 1080 family!
    i think they said more than 2 1080's just won't be supported in games, for now. other stuff like CAD, and other GPU intensive programs, can still benefit from it. they also said they might be able to run 3/4-way SLI in games later on. it's been a little while since i read all that stuff, so don't quote me on it. there's a huge thread about it on the EVGA forum.

    Well no 3 way SLI just doesn't work. That doesn't mean other DX12 multi gpu modes can't work anymore.

    Not interested in buying from you, just interested in knowing how much did you pay for one of those 1080s :)

    Sweet build.
    I suppose its BH7. What color combination do you plan to have. Do you plan to mod? if not then attaching just the handles cold give it a modded look. Also later you could do custom water cooling if you really want, but i dont recommend it because i feel the case will look cramped with it.

    I was sponsored by caselabs for the build but after talking with them several times the bh7 is not going to work for this build. The video cards are to long for the case and you can't add any intake fans. So they want to supply me with a sma8. Problem is their 2.5-3 month lead time now on cases. So I've reached out to a couple other companies that showed interest in my last couple sponsored builds.

    How do you have the video cards configured currently? 2 in SLI and the 3rd dedicated PhysX?
