wondering if any suggestions on changes to make, also plan on picking up a 4k monitor in the near future as well, I'm guess it's best to buy that elsewhere as the Asus 4K Ultra HD 28 inch PB287Q Series they have listed as an add-on here at +$569 is $399 at amazon.

Hi Cletus...   You nailed it on the build.    All great picks.

Not sure the games you'd be playing but for high end 4k gaming a sli, 2x gtx 1080Ti is needed. The single will play anything out there on 4K, just have to turn settings down. Sli would mean no Bolt.

Under Recovery, pick the CD and/or partition for a bootable Disc if the OS drive dies.

Definitely get the monitor elsewhere.

I'm still on my ODE from 6 years ago with an upgrade or two.

Looks great.
