Hello there,

I would welcome input on the following setup. Will primarily be playing Star Citizen, PubG casually and the new Assassins Creed. If possible I want to output G-sync to main monitor and extended second screen (1080p) through HDMI.

Questions:
-Is the build ok? Should I consider alternative parts
-Do I need 32Gigs ram?
-Can I output g-sync to main monitor on ultrawide and extend output through hdmi at 1080p?
-Should I wait for new Titan x - collectors edition?

CPU: Intel - Core i7-8700K 3.7GHz 6-Core Processor (£395.46 @ Scan.co.uk)
CPU Cooler: NZXT - Kraken X62 Rev 2 98.2 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler (£136.72 @ Aria PC)

Very good build BUT have you considered a Ryzen system as Star Citizen will love cores and threads and you get two more with them but you will need to drop your ram speed to about 3200 if you do go Ryzen only for ease of getting it to work easily if your good a clocking and tweaking then 3600 should be ok if you get ram for Ryzen.
I don't really think you will need 32 gig ram either and as far as the Titan it's probably going to be stupidly priced for not a lot of gain over the 1080ti
Yeah a good solid build there for sure
