	Build looks good. However, without knowing what it’s used for or what games and the monitor resolution, we can’t know what video card or cpu is best.

	What bp said. Not a good idea to overcook your video card. Basically won't matter much but will stress the card and raise temps.

	Looks good and Congrats For 4K gaming, the gtx 1080 Ti in your original build is the recommended. There is a chance the gtx 1080 on backorder will not be filled. The card, from what I’ve read, has stopped production because of the newer Ampere gtx 2080/2070, tentative name, will be released end of March.
