Best 1080 ti for this build?

[richyman]

Ive seen that performance is pretty similar so since the build is going to be somewhat tight I worry it might get too hot. Which 1080 ti do you recommend for this particular build?

Thx in advanced.

PD: I plan overclocking and also don't mind the zotac gpu.

Some people will say 'get a blower card' but imho that's BS. However, I'd go with something smaller, like a Evga FTW or SC.

Amp extreme is not a good GPU, its vrm cooling is terrible. Get asus strix, evga ftw, hybrid, or sc2

If you can afford it, I made some changes https://pcpartpicker.com/list/xMwfNN

Moniter is 100$ more, but is 3440x1440

Hyperthreading is good

H80i is better than deep cool

Ftw3 is better

Just get a FE 1080 Ti, at the end of the day it performs about the same as any other 1080 Ti, it looks much prettier, its blower style will keep the interior of the case colder and as owning one I really don't consider it loud at all.... but honestly looking at photos of this case I really can't see the appeal of it, looks too tight... I do like small builds but I'd frankly go MicroATX on a Cooler Master Case Pro 3 as it'd allow for a 240mm AiO for the CPU and a simple AiO for a water cooled FE card, much more appealing to me personally.

Yeah I also thought of building that but my budget was $2500 and Im going to spend around $2800 considering the shipping will cost me $250 and that I was $55 over the budget already. Thank you for the build tho  .

Yeah, going itx wasnt my plan (altho finding this case was nice to convince me) but I will move to Berlin so this pc will actually fit in a carry on bag  .

Why not build it in Berlin instead? I know that EU makes deals not as attractive as in the USA but at least unlike many other countries, including in Europe, you'll still find all you want to find available in there.

Because I'm only going to stay there 5 months and then go back to México (so I would still need to take my pc on a plane) . Also I'm about to enter college so if I become an exchange student in another country or state I could bring my pc with me. Now if you ask me why not just buy a laptop then? I don't enjoy the experience as much, thats what Ive been doing for 2 months and I miss my pc already.

Also, prices are way higher, a dolar for me is 19.1 and an euro around 22.

I understand you well enough, well your build as is already should give you a blasting awesome experience, I do really recommend the Founders Edition GTX 1080 Ti by EVGA since it is by far the best warranty, the blower style cooler seems important to me if you'll go with this case because of how tight every thing will be, a single fan small radiator is not going to let you overclock the i5 much(if at all, would recommend just setting all core turbo to max) specially if get an open air cooler for the GPU since you'll be generating lots of heat and trapping it inside the case.

 

The bonus is that the FE card's cheaper too, it'll be available at black friday here:
