Close call, eh?
Not sure if games (with their crazy sizes these days, hehe) utilize the speed of SSD's especially well for the bang for the buck. So again, only if you're okay with paying more, go for it. I personally use it for the OS and page filing, and fast HDD's for the games and the rest (in a total of ~14TB here). There is also a faster variants of SSD if you're interested and willing to pay more; PCIe SSD and M.2 SSD.
Are you saying you're gonna use 2 GTX 1080's and 1 GTX Titan Z? Any specific reason for that? Cuz to my humble knowledge, they don't have a combination value. On a side note, it's old and got superseded with Titan X Pascal. 2 1080's outperform 1 Titan Z or X, but games that do not support SLI or worry you would run out of VRAM, are better off with 1 Titan Z/X. Is this what you have on mind?
As for the PSU, the AX1500i could be the only choice you actually have if you are fixed for the 3 GPU's above. The Titan X Pascal uses less power, by the way, tho it is faster (and more expensive in a way many criticize) making bringing a choice of 1200W to the discussion.
Yes, more power is better. I just thought you might be interested in saving some money that won't make a difference if payed. But of course willing to pay = why not go for it. I follow the same approach too, haha. I personally own a 1000W PSU and ~650W of it used, cuz I was willing to pay (and since I thought maybe I'd SLI in the future, which I didn't).
