Btw. I'm not that strict about FEs, so from my opinion it's not such a drama to buy Non-FE-GPUs, as long as they have radial coolers. And have a front with an intake, so that's not completely closed.
Here's what I would do/buy: swap the Mobo for an ASRock X299 OC Formula. Buy three GTX1080Ti with radial cooler (Zotac for the 5 years warranty or EVGA for their quality). Place the three GPUs with one slot/space between them. This will guarantee all-time cool running GPUs without a hassle.
Oh, and I'd ditch the 10-core for an i7-7820X, since it has the better price/perf-ratio.
Ok so I'm taking your advice and getting the ASRock board and the i7-7820X. The thing with that mobo is it only has 2 fan connectors while the case I'm getting will have 3. How would you handle that; controller, splitter, directly to PSU? I'm not sure I want it running full speed all of the time so I'm not to keen on plugging it directly into the PSU. I was thinking about picking up a NZXT - SENTRY 3 Fan Controller.
Still trying to decide what I want to do about the GPU's, ugh. I would really prefer to get FE's.
I appreciate the advice, thank you.
