This is what my build looks like as of right now....https://i.redd.it/ghflb24rlliz.jpg

5x RX 580 Nitro+
5x 1080ti OC-11GD
1x GTX 970 (just because I had it in my pc from when I used to game)
2x EVGA T2 1600w PSU
Asrock H110 Pro BTC+

Red GPUs connected to the left PSU (580, 580, 970, 1080ti, 1080ti, 1080ti)
Green GPUs connected to the right PSU (580, 580, 580, 1080ti, 1080ti)

anyone have any advice as far as what I should keep in mind as far as how many I can connect to each psu? I'm new to all this; so any advice is very much appreciated.

Also, I have each sata cable connected to about 2-3 risers; is that a safe amount? I don't want to go above that.

Still in the process of building; don't mind the wire chaos.

Thanks!

Well, 580s will consume just over 100W if undervolted each, 1080ti's, on the other hand, will do just over 175W with best clocks and undervolted. So, One PSU connected to 5x 580s, MOB, and risers while the second PSU connected to 5x 1080ti, 970. Use Molex cables and ditch SATA all-together because all of your GPUs are power-sucker.A Molex daisy chained to two GPUs, i.e., Five Molex cables for connecting 10 GPUs (580s,1080ti) and you can use SATA for 970 if you want. It's not that power hungry.

My risers have a 6pin connection; you're suggesting I get a 6pin to molex adapter for them? What about all the fire issues related to that adapter?

Daisy chain a six pin to two risers and you're very good to go.

So something like this cable? https://www.amazon.com/11-inch-PCI-Express-Female-Splitter-Sleeves/dp/B01LVZBJML/ref=sr_1_30?ie=UTF8&qid=1504026247&sr=8-30&keywords=6+pin+pci+express+power+cable
