This doesn't include a monitor but leaves you plenty of room.
Do you plan to crossfire/sli at some point? I planned for you not to. This could be beefed up but for 1080 this would do great. Also the mobo comes with free memory right now so that's why it is not linked

Thanks for the quick response!
what are the negatives to crossfiring? I'm sure the parts are more expensive because you have to buy crossfire compatible mobo and such, but are there negatives?
