Budget:
3000

Expectations:
Gaming on 4k monitor maxed out.

I'm not an expert building a PC so could really use some help from you guys. I do all sorts of gaming from shooters, to RPGs, etc.. I have a 4k monitor and want to max that out. I currently have a 1080 that I bought for my current old-ass system. It is not able to push my 4K gaming to ULTRA.   It is a Gigabyte GeForce GTX GV-N1080G1 GAMING-8GD.

My thoughts:

1. Get another 1080 and SLI them. Question - do they need to be the same brand to work?

2. Which MOBO do I need to support this?

3. Thoughts on processor and RAM?

If one of you experts could chime in and help with a solid system that will game on 4k for years to come, I'd appreciate that.

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion! Does this include and/or does digital storm sell the SLI bridge?

Without sli in the build , DS probably wouldn't include the HB bridge but mention it in the comments section at bottom of configuration.   They might charge but not sure.
