8X 2080 Ti can allocate up to 88GB of host buffers, so he would need a realistic minimum of 128GB of RAM for this system. 256GB gives him a bit more headroom. It's not at all overkill.
That's a dual root complex board. If he only installed one CPU, he'd only see 4 GPUs - despite the fact that it has 4x PLX chips.
I see on another thread that you're considering building your own 8 GPU system, but from these comments it seems like maybe you lack the experience necessary to do so.
