Looks good but get rid of noise package its pointless.



Bit of info:

1. Do not install Mcafee , instead get a lighter better anti virus like ESET ( number 3 on the list ) Or any other good light Anti Virus will do.

2. With extra fans request that DS changes all case fans and connects all your fans to the mobo so you can control them via free software. This way we can control the fans without needing anything else (aka fan controller and etc).
Also be sure to pick the color of the ring you wan the fans to have (red/blu/white).

3. The warranty here is 3 year labor and 1 year parts so if you want higher part warranty be sure to raise the warranty level to the desired level.

Alternatively, here's one based on my build which I just received this Fri. It's slightly cheaper even though it includes a watercooled Titan XP instead of the 1080. It uses a 6700k CPU which is fine for gaming, though more cores may be helpful for development.

FYI, this build has 16G RAM, make sure you adjust that and other components to match your requirements. I didn't check in detail if there's any other big differences.
