Alternative GTX 1080 for Mini ITX build

So I've been wondering pondering what graphics cards are best for my Mini ITX build, but the case that I have is so small that the air flow isn't the best. So I picked out the GTX 1080 founders edition because of the blower style cooler in Pc Parts Picker and presented my build to the forum to have people give suggestions on what I could do better. A majority of the responses I got were to get a different graphics card since it costs too much, but since the case is so small I really can't use another type of air cooler on the card with out the internal temperature of the case getting to hot. 

 

So that being said. Is there a different GTX 1080 that has a blower type air cooler that isn't the Founders Edition? 

 

Here is the build that I'm talking about

Thank you for your time

Well yes

there is the GigaByte GTX 1080 8Gb Twin Turbo PCI-E GV-N1080TTOC-8GD, MSI GeForce GTX 1080 Aero 8GB OC GDDR5X 256Bits, Galax GeForce GTX 1080 8GB DDR5X 256-Bit PCI-EXP 80NSJ6DHK5VT  and EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5 X 256Bits - 08G-P4-5180-KR

 

I would personally pick the Founders Edition because I like its looks better

Of the above, go with whichever is cheapest as there will be little difference in design.
