Since you’re planning to go for gpu rendering, I tried to tidy things up and make a list that includes 2x1080Ti’s. It’s possible with a budget of 3K £ to make this happen.

PCPartPicker part list

Don’t worry about the 6800K’s 28pcie lanes. Even x4 lanes per gpu are enough for rendering.

The psu might look a bit overkill, but it’s better to have a wattage like that available for additional gpus in the future.
