Build picked from May 2017 buyers guide - GPU confusion and question

[C001A]

Hi everyone,

I picked this build from the May 2017 Guide that is available here on TonyMacx86
I wanted to just run it by you people before I clicked the buy button

I do have some extra budget left so if you suggest any upgrades I'd love to implement them

Now moving onto my GPU question - will a 1080 Ti work and be stable? Or. should I go for 1060?
I want to achieve most in terms of performance and stability

My next question is will SLI work?
Lastly, the 960 Pro m2 SSD has better performance; can or should I switch to that?
Will my motherboard support m2?

If you really need Thunderbolt I would check with Cybertron PC to make sure that is actually the -TH version of that motherboard. I don't believe there are any of those left. If it is I don't think they would sell it at that price. It would cost more. I've had this kind of mistake in the listing happen to me about a year ago so I sent it back for a refund.

The MB you have linked has a single M2 connection. I want at least two M2 connections, since I plan to use one SSD for Windows 7 and one for OS X.

Thanks, that makes sense - I'll look into it and make sure it's the correct mobo
As for GPU - would you suggest 1060 or 1080 Ti?

Either are fine. I'm going to go with a 1070 I think. Much friendlier on the pocketbook than the 1080 Ti. Probably this one for me:

MSI Gaming GeForce GTX 1070 8GB GDDR5 SLI DirectX 12 VR Ready Graphics Card (GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G)
