Those special SLI bridges are awesome. But you need indeed to figure out which one to get. I was looking for a special waterbridge from EK for my Mobo and had the same issue. But i did not go for it yet.
There will probably be players in Australia who want those SLI bridges
Looking forward to more pics of your Battle Station

This PC has SD card reader so now I found my camera we should see more picture's from me in future
sorry there so many pictures
The build was fun did not encounter to many issue main issue I faced were just my errors such as installing rad first which was smart because with MB in couldn't get rad screws in so that was smart except I forgot to install fans on rad before installing so had to remove it all start again
Downfalls noticed I can only have max of two GPU's due to the cards size it crushes the plugs on MB if you use the last PCI slot and dim slots are to close to CPU as this makes cooling hose touch side of memory if you weird like me and like label's the right way up
All setup up and ready to begin The Asus deluxe its nice board but dislike PCI slot layout and DIMM layout Case is stripped bare and CPU installation is ready to begin CPU is installed and memory is install note I did not use CPU install tool Radiator is installed but will come back out later after realizing I forgot the fans Noctua fans are installed rather than Fractal fans MOBO is installed along with radiator and fans Pump is fitted along with PSU start basic cable link up for test boot getting messy close to first boot up GPU's are in and CD drive Everything installed and runs well no issue's on all bench marks on Prime 95 torture test CPU reach 76c no higher Start of cable management I definitely need more practice at this one of my weak points but only 3cm of room its tight Lights I love lights which is one of reasons I choose this case also installed NZXT HUE on top of the stock case LED it really bright Very happy with final result especially self built

Good to see you could fit the larger 360 radiator in the top. The more cooling surface the better.
Never knew you could get Skylake in 2009. Must be a time travel device as well
(I just recently set the date on my camera again)
All those fancy Mobo's have optimized layouts for what they think the average higher end buyer will plug in on it.
So if you want triple SLI you need another board, There are ones that support 4 way SLI/CF. Only way to do it in this one is with single slot coolblocks (watercooling). But there are a limited number of PCIe 3.0 lanes. Better stick with 2xSLI, as everything is optimized for it.
Memory slots are always too close to the CPU but probably need to be there. With big air cool blocks like my Noctua or the Prolimatech, you already need low profile memory modules.
If you really want 4K, there are some options already. Depending if you want a fast TN or a better color IPS. AH-IPS is fast enough these days and has a much better color reproduction than TN screens. Over here prices have dropped to half
But there are other options as well. 3x 1440p is awesome and will rock on your rig.
You can also go exotic and place one 34" ultrawide like i have in the center, and a 1440p at each side next to it, lol.
Or even more crazy and place 3 of them in a half circle.
Sounds crazy, but for each ultrawide 34" 3440x1440p you only need to render half the pixels of a 4K scr.
In the future i will look at ridiculous things like a 5K ultrawide TV. When it is Oled, there is no lag at all.
BTW i tried playing on my Beamer and the 100" 16/9 wide projection screen and it is awesome for controller games. But there is a lot more lag than with a Monitor or a TV with game setting. If you get attacked it will raise some neckhairs for sure. An ultra wide 5K beamer is another option. But than you will need to dedicate a complete room to it.
Right now you will be able to play everything smooth at Ultra settings at 60fps on the triple 1080p screens.
It will rock.

Your build is looking great
Cable mod as well. We need more close ups from all the dirty details
Asus SLI Bridge as temp fix. Good job on cable management.
In regards to air flow management:
Maybe you will need extra air intake to balance the air pressure in the case.
With 4 exit fans (1 case and 3 rad) you might get a bit too much under pressure.
Easy fix is to turn around the rear exit fan as an inlet.
