You got the Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 7 motherboard for your build right?
It has been great, if I could change anything it would be an extra slot spacing between GPUs, but if you are looking at water cooling this isn't an issue. The MOBO software took some getting used to but just because it was new to me.
Install was easy (use the spaces between mobo and case.) Wiring was well labeled, a ton of fan headers.

I am having Windstream installed next week to test it out. I never got close to 1 TB before Cox's data caps and now about 21 days in I get the 85% warning, then miraculously every month they say I used an other 60% in 7 days.

Wow
Data caps are criminal. I have internet at 3 locations currently.
1. Work apartment Orange, Tx - Charter @ 50MB/s for $49.99 - 640GB Cap
2. 2nd Work apartment Lake Charles, La - Spectrum 400MB/s for $69.99 - 500GB Cap
3. House Thibodaux, La - RTC 150MB/s for $79.99 - No Cap
My fastest internet provider comes with the LOWEST cap and the only local/small ISP is the only ISP which comes with NO cap. ISPs are fckking insane and now it will only become worse.

So I'm down to a 7800x build or 8700k. Is more PCIe lanes and Quad Channel Memory really worth it?
I already have a Rosewell Capstone 750W, 16 GB HyperX DDR4 2133 (2x8 Gb), and ssds/hdds.
Will obviously need the waterblocks, pump, resovoir, tubing, etc...
LSUCoyote/Stout, you guys still selling a Titan Xp with waterblock/bp? I'm still debating if I want to SLI or not.

Why in the world would you buy X299 now? It's a difference of like $20 and Coffee Lake offers significantly more performance. 
Posted on 12/19/17 at 8:21 pm to UltimateHog
I'm asking if Quad channel and more PCIe lanes are worth it.
x299 might have longer term support than z370 too.
I am leaning towards 8700k.

You only have a dual channel ram kit anyway too, so you'd have to buy another set to make quad channel worthwhile.
8700k smokes games too

This crypto scene starting to remind anyone else of the dot com doom with elements of the housing crisis? Not saying it's going to be soon, but the market will eventually correct itself.

More PCIe lanes are worth it. Quad Channel not so much.

Okay, going with the 8700k and the Aorus Z370 Gaming 7.
Anyone used hard tubing for their watercooled builds? I want to do that. Never done watercooled at all before, so I need some advice.
I basically am on travel seeing family, and won't be back home until New Years Eve, so I want to wait before purchasing parts for this build until I am back home.
Yall still selling Titan Xps with WBs?

Nothing worse than batteries dying mid game. 
Posted on 12/20/17 at 6:37 pm to DoUrden
I like how the g613 runs on AA batteries so that's easy to swap... The g403 will be kind of a bitch to get charged mid game
