Thanks PsychoFish and The Joker for responding much appreciated.
Joker I see you listing a lot of components from rebel tech do you recommend me buying from them exclusively?
If I was to go for a closed water loop which would you recommend?
Also I was looking at a review on gtx 1080's is there a reason you chose armor?I was looking at zotac from wootware for same price.
Also anything special about that case? Looks standard if so could I change it?
I deal with Rebeltech on a daily basis, done business with them since they've opened their doors.
So yes i would definitely recommend doing the entire build with them.
As far as the GPU goes, the AMP/Extreme is an absolute monster of a card, unfortunately there are 2 major issues with it. It is incredibly heavy, so you will end up with a lot of GPU sag, now this doesn't seem all that bad but I have personally seen a R9 290x Lightning rip out a pci-e slot from a motherboard. Then on top of that it's a huge card, this limits you on case choice and build choice.
The only downside of the ARMOR is that it doesn't have a backplate. So you may want to look at something else if that's the sort of thing that'll bug you (It bugs me lol).
Not only that most if not all GTX1080 cards overclock exactly the same, I've now tested it with 6 different models, ranging from the absolute cheapest to the Seahawk I'm running in my personal pc. Yes the AMP does come with higher clocks but with a quick overclock you can match it at any frequency. out of all the samples tested, the FE cards came out on top with an avg of 2126 on the core with the other cards all hovering around the 2050-2100 range.
As far as the case goes, It's your choice at the end of the day. I'm a fan of the new Thermaltake designs. I've built in a few of them and they impressed me a lot and honestly for the money there aren't really any other cases that offer the same specs as the that Thermaltake.
Cooling wise, it depends on the budget and what you want to achieve with the cpu. Realistically you should be fine with a 140mm rad and cooler, although not a very popular choice these days. Most guys go for a 240/280mm rad and cooler.
Any of corsair's new coolers are great. You could also look at the new Antec range, although they aren't available just yet. Another one you can look at would be the Coolermaster MasterLiquid Pro (Will be available soon)
Antec Kühler H1200 Pro

Cooler Master MasterLiquid Pro 240

I'm using one of these at the moment.
Corsair H100i GTX / V2 Hydro Series

Like I mentioned, it's a solid build, it's not the cheapest build but you are getting quality components for really good pricing.
Feel free to drop me a pm if you are interested in overclocking your machine, inc your graphics cards ect. I'll gladly help you out.
