Yeah If you are not overclocking it ARMOUR should be plenty. I don't over-clock either (use the cards for 24/7 round the clock renders so don't want to decrease their lifetime) so I go with blower style cards. 

I was looking at a blower style card as I'm planning to transfer my build to a much smaller case but ironically they're some of the most expensive I can find xD

Yes, I use multiple (NON SLI) blower style cards in my render box to keep internals heat down.

Only 20 quid more than the ARMOR and they work great. I have a MSI 1080 Aero pushing pixels round the clock with no throttling.

That's a pretty good price for a 1070. I doubt vega will have a large perf/$ improvement so my vote is the armor.

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Typical that I'd forget to check for blower style cards on Amazon!
