Hello!
So as the title of this thread might inform you of, I am currently in the end phase of putting together my buy-list for a new rig and I could use a second look to see any components that don't match, advice etc. if someone would take the time.
The build is going to be built on the skylake platform and will feature a lot of ROG/Asus parts, mostly because I am planning on a black and red setup but also because ROG and Asus generally has brilliant components.
Case:
Corsair 780T (actually had planned to go with the NZXT Phantom 820, but the headache with too few usb 2.0 headers was more than I could be bothered with. 2 headers from the front 4 ports, a usb connector from the CLC and a usb connector for the SD slot, ending in a total of 4 needed headers)
MOBO:
Asus Maximus VIII Formula, Socket-1151
CPU:
I7-6700K
CLC:
NZXT Kraken x61
RAM:
HyperX Predator DDR4 2400mhz 16GB
GPU:
GTX 1080 Strix OC-edition
PSU:
RM850x - 850W
SSD/HDD:
Samsung EVO 850-500GB/Seagate Barracuda 3TB
Extras:
Asus blu-ray reader (because I'm not going to have an around $2500 build and not be able to put in a fricking CD)
So the "theme" of my build is a really "beastly" setup right out of the box, but with possibility for additional expantion in the future, in say the storage departament, running dual SLI GTX 1080's etc. etc.
Ofc after my wallet has stopped crying. So if some could take a look at it, point out any flaws, stuff I haven't thought about etc. that would be much appreciated.
Have a nice day!

A 750W PSU for SLI would be borderline and not worth the risk.
And I agree with Nate, Seasonic and EVGA SuperNova are very good PSU choices.

That may be so but overclocking the cpu will draw more watts and it's always good to give your psu at least 30% headroom or a little more. The more headroom you give it the cooler and quieter it will run and it will last longer.

When I used this psu calculator it said the recommended psu was an evga 1000w gold psu, try it for yourself. Don't forget to overclock the cpu and gpu's.
