MOBO - alienware 07HV66 (U3E1)  ( all i could find on the motherboard sadly)

cpu - i7 7700k

ram - 8gb (installed by dell)

PS - 850W liquid cooled

GPU - radeon 970 (installed by me when pc arrived)

HDD - toshiba 2 tb 

Final Build

Motherboard - same as current build

CPU - same as current build

Ram - 32 GB Kingston Fury ddr4 - 2400 (2x16GB, might be 64 GB eventually)

PS - same as current build

use a Tool to figure it out. CPU Z for Example.

Bottomline, you have 4 x the same RAM Moduls installed. my Suggestion would be

a) get the same RAM you have right now

b) get a Quad Kit (4x8 GB) and sell the Modul you have right now.

Edit:

1080TI is a great Choice..

you have 3 x Crucial RAM on the List. does that meen you are planning to keep your current HyperX Modul and add 3 x Crucial? it is never a good Idea to mix Brands / Specs.

and then about the Monitors. you can do the same as my Brother does. he's using 1 x 1440p 144 Hz Monitor (Center) and 2 x 1080p 60 Hz Monitors for Chat / YouTube (left and right). works great with a single GTX 1080.

Again, I'm not sure of your capture resolution, or optimal config, but I will say ...
 
I doubt you are going to like gaming at 1080p with a 27inch monitor. The pixels are going to be huge.
 
If you are looking at 16:9 monitors:

24" = around 1080p

27" = around 1440p

32" = around 2160p (4K)

there are always that Tiny Things....

the Acer Monitor on your List is a Free Sync Model. thats for AMD Cards. you would need one with G-Sync since you have Nvidia GPU. this one for Example:

Acer Predator XB271HU 27" WQHD IPS NVIDIA G-Sync Black/Red Gaming Monitor, 2560 x 1440 (2K), 144 Hz w/ Overclocking to 1… 

or this one:

Acer Predator XB271HU Abmiprz TN Panel G-sync Gaming Monitor; 2560 x 1440; Overclock Refresh Rate 165 Hz-Newegg.com

i kinda feel bad for your Wallet. i did it myself. i went from MSI Gaming Laptop with GTX 860M to the Area 51 with the fastest Card at the Time and a 4K IPS Monitor. wasn't Cheap but i don't regret it now.

just to be Clear, i pointed out some Stuff that might cause Troubles / Confusion in the Future. i don't want you to buy Stuff. this Decision is on you.

Dont be, i was going to spend it anyway, just in a diff form that might have not even worked and i would have to replace anyway, for all i know this is the cheaper way cause i want to get it right the first time
