Hi Guys,
A few questions and advice if you'd be so kind...

Needs:
My 2500k is starting to creak, so looking to give it a much needed upgrade.
To both feed VR games and to do some serious Lightroom, Photoshop and Indesign work.
PSU is chunky as planning on throwing my current 970 into the rig to do some nicehash on the side, alongside an SSD and HD's x5.

Questions:
Hoping to reuse my Corsair Hydro H50-1 - is the mounting the same, can't seem to get a straight answer on this?

How does the below sound? Any obvious mis-steps or missing parts?
Wanting to place order this weekend:

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £1,735.04 (includes shipping: £11.10)​

Great on the h50, yeah leaving headroom for sli, but deffo keeping the 970 on the second slot... forgot to mention the x5 external usb drives running too. Overkill on the psu?

I honestly wouldn't bother with sli, it seems as though support is dying for multiple gpu's. THe 1080ti is a beast anyway, if anything you'd be better off keeping what you'd spend on a second Ti and using it towards the 1180Ti (or whatever they call it)
