I'm building my first PC as I've always bought prebuilt machines. I wanted to make it special. I actually started with picking out my GPU, the EVGA 1080 Ti FTW3 Hybrid, then worked around the aesthetics of it. I haven't been able to source the GPU yet at these prices but I'm waiting patiently and doing other things such as cabling and such. I also don't have my ram yet so it's not completely powered up but it's next on the buy list. I custom sleeved the 24 pin, 8 pins and front I/O cables myself with supplies from Mod-One. I'm going for a black and brushed aluminum look. Screen in photo is running as extended monitor on my old Alienware laptop.  Specs: Case- Corsair Crystal 460x RGB Power Supply- EVGA Supernova G3 850 Motherboard- Asus ROG Strix Z370E Gaming CPU- Intel i7-8700k CPU Cooling- Corsair H150i Pro Storage- Samsung 960 EVO 500GB M.2 Seagate Firecuda 2TB Memory- 16GB (2 x 8GB) Corsair Dominator Platinum 3200MHz Fans are Corsair HD120's RGB with 3 SP120's in front of rad.

Hope you can get a GPU really soon with a decent price. It's a nice setup and deserves a nice GPU .

Just to update, I picked up the 1080 FTW Hybrid over the 1080 Ti Hybrid mainly because the 1080 has the brushed metal accent pieces that I thought would look nice in the build and it does. Will take final pictures when RAM comes in and post them.

Excellent. Looking forward to final pics with the RAM installed.

 Here's what it looks like installed. I really love the looks and am happy with my GPU choice. I purposely sleeved my wires to the GPU this way but I'm not sure I like it this way after installation. There is almost no sag in the GPU I just can't take a level photo. Also, counting the PSU and GPU fans this rig has 12 fans total. I would suggest for anyone with over 8 fans in a system to keep a diagram of where each one is plugged into. Luckily I have 7 of mine running on a PWM splitter controlled by the AIO cooler on the CPU.

YES!!! Yes I am. Would have been done sooner if not for some financial setbacks. It's ok though, it'll make the finished product that much sweeter. But, I am ready to post up some benchmarks on this system. I hope I can get 5 GHz out of this 8700k along with some great graphics scores from the 1080.

Finally got this darling purring. I love the looks of it and it is a HUGE step up from my old laptop. I love every part of it and they work beautifully with each other. The H150i Pro handles 5GHz with ease. I have fans in push/pull config on both CPU and GPU coolers. I just don't know how far I can/should push the GPU. Mod rigs page:
