Today I purchased a GeForce GTX 1080

Today I purchased an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 ASUS ROG edition graphics card for the new PC that I'm building.

I'm going to get a 2nd one a put it in SLI as soon as I can afford it.

Right now I'm waiting for the Z200 chipset intel motherboards and the Core i7 7770K Kaby Lake processor.

My build won't be done until early next year.

Don't forget to get seaniepoo to help you build it, Mike...

Why buy it now if you're not building until next year?
Prices are bound to fall by then as they have been since release. Plus the Ti will likely push prices down too.
Vega may also have some impact if it actually ever appears and isn't shit... Which I feel is unlikely.

It must suck to be that poor.

Looking good on paper. What are you doing about cooling?

I have two top-mounted 200m fans for my case for airflow, and am going to get a top-notch aftermarket air cooler for my CPU within the $100 region.

I'm not sure which cooler I'm going to get yet because the new Z200 motherboards might not be physically compatible with my current choices.

Build a custom loop. That way you can add GPU or RAM coolers whenever you see fit.

That's very costly and difficult to maintain.

If you're not doing extreme CPU/GPU overclocking then there is no need for such setup.

Mine cost about £100 for a CPU loop.
I top up the coolant once every 6 months or so. That's it.

Currently sat at a nice 27C on a summers day.

It's cheaper than an AIO and the only maintenance is changing the fluid every six months.
