It's over your budget, but 4k gaming at max graphics can get expensive.   The single gtx 1080 build BOTA showed you will certainly play at 4 k at a decent frame rate if settings are tweaked down. Max graphics isn't needed for very good gaming. Depends what you want.

Hope this helps.

Yep, the single 1080 will play 4K.  If you drop the sli, you can also change the power supply to a 750watt, not the B1, but the other for another $34.   A gold vs bronze box with double the warranty and fully modular wiring.

A power supply is rated by its efficiency, the percentage of the input volts from the wall it actually outputs to the computer.  An example..a 600 w psu at 80% efficiency would draw 750watt from the wall at full load.   This is very general..   Basically, a higher efficiency box is constructed of better quality capacitors, etc to achieve the efficiency and with it you get a longer warranty.   Gold might be 90% at partial load and the Bronze 80%.  

Fully modular wiring means all the cables from the psu, power supply unit,  are plug in at the box.  A semi modular is the 24 pin and 6/8 pin cpu cables are hard wired and the rest plug in.  No modular means all the wires are hard wired in.  Benefit of fully modular is a neater look, as only the cables needed are used and if you ever change the psu because it dies, you just have to unplug the cables at the psu, plug in just the box and no wiring to snake through the computer.

I know you are in a rush but I decided to wait for a 1080ti in hopes to save money vs two 1080sli because as soon as I order my 2nd DS unit it will come out.

Rumor is, the 1080ti will be out January or February, but we'll see.   It doubt it will be as strong as sli 1080, but it might give you all you need for 4k gaming, without an sli setup. I'm all for single card if it meets the needs.

Yes, the Titan X Pascal would work. It is the strongest card and might even inch out the new 1080 ti if some rumors are true.

The 750 watt is good to go.   600-650 is what testers have recommended as minimum.   You could go 850 watt just to make sure, I personally would, but that's me.
