So this is the first time I have attempted to build a gaming rig. So the quote I was given has been attached I have changed slightly to what is listed in the quote being the
cpu cooler. corsair H115 instead of hyperx
Ssd. 960 evo 500gb
And I have took out the 2tb hard drive.
And I'm thinking of going 2 msi gaming x 1080 instead of what has been quoted. And change case to a full tower don't know which yet. So really what I'm asking is what can be improved or is this a decent 1080 sli setup as it is.
Thanks all help is appreciated.

Looks good. I'd consider going with a single Titan XP though, some games like Watch Dogs 2 have terrible SLI support and some games like Just Cause 3 do not support SLI at all.

Yea it's a good setup.. Very expensive tho! I just built almost the same exact computer myself,only with one gpu and I already had the ssd, for 1700$

I had never built a computer before and it really wasn't that bad! Also you get a huge sense of accomplishment.

Cheers for the info but the Titan X is almost impossible to get in Australia unless I go through ebay.

Same here in Romania.
Also you don't need 1000w for 2 1080s. I have a RM850i for my 1080s and it works flawlessly

Looks good. Like I said before, I'd save some money by getting the 850w version of the PSU.
Also, don't ditch the HDD. With only 500GB you will run out of space pretty quickly. I'd rather have a 240GB SSD and a 1TB HDD.

If you already have HDD don't buy one unless you don't have enough space. If you think that PSU is too expensive it's because it is top of the food chain. You are getting a 4K monitor right?

For first person shooters, 1440p at 120/144hz would be better.l But 4k 60hz is still great, I run it myself.
