List your gaming rig specs + pics

Okay okay, So am am sitting with a box and fans atm. Waiting for my part to arrive.
Here is the list of new part I am waiting for

GALAX GTX 1080 HOF

INTEL Core i7 6700K

Z170X Ultra Gaming

CORSAIR Vengeance LPX 3600MHZ 2x8GB
20-233-834-TS.jpg
 
So... I don't have a rig worth mentioning at the moment other than to say that it is all enclosed in a Thermaltake Level 10 GT.

However....
This is the list that i'll be upgrading to come the end of August :D

Asus ROG Maximus VIII Formula
i7-6700k
32GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2133MHz
Corsair Hydro H110i GTX
Corsair RM850x PSU
As for the graphics card/s, it'll be a tossup between the GTX1070 or GTX1080 Strix ROG
and i'm still debating whether to go SLI or not.

I'd appreciate some feedback if you guys don't mind? I've never built a high-end system so any advice will be greatly appreciated :)

Sent you a PM regarding the Cooler.
32GB is over kill if the system is just for gaming
If you are in between the 1070 and 1080 and did not have your heart set out on the 1080 then go for the 1070. The price dif is huge.
The pascall cards don't SLI very well and it won't really be necessary . I am personally waiting for my GALAX GTX 1080 HOF to land

[MENTION=16362]Flex[/MENTION] I see you have experience with the Galax range.

I've never tried them and want to grab your opinion as I've got my eyes set on this following:

It is going for a great price. Doubt you will get a new 1060 cheaper elsewhere. GALAX are awesome cards. I have always however been a bit skeptical about the lower range cards. I am however a HUGE fan of their HALL OF FAME range. Sometimes it seems like it has been manufactured by 2 totally different companies. I am not sure if I am the only one that feels this way though. Not sure if that is the case with the newer 1060, 1070 and 1080 cards
