Need help with upgrades

[Guest]

Specs right now:

Spoiler

Asus strix 1070

R7 1700 with stock cooler

16gb 2133 ram

corsair cx 500m green label

Giagbyte ab350 mini itx board

4tb hdd

480Gb ssd

240Gb ssd

Sharkoon c10 itx case

So the thing im looking at right now is the gigabyte 1080ti mini, because of the itx nature of my case. Many of the 1080tis are like a 2 and a half slot cooler, so way to big. Now ive read that that thing has bad thermals and acustics, so is there any other small 1080ti? 30 x 15 x 4.5 Centimeter This is my max gpu size, and i cant get a bigger gpu than that. The smaller the better.

 

The second thing is that my current psu is the green label cx500m, and people are saying how it is the worst psu ever.(very low on the psu tier list). So can that support an overclocked 1700 and a 1080ti, or will it catch fire or something? I have noticed that it is the loudest part of my system, but still i wouldnt get a new psu if i dont need to. If you recommend a new one, i would like it to be under 100 € on amazon.de.

 

TLDR: I need a small gtx 1080ti, but the zotac 1080ti mini is very noisy by reviews. Do i need a new psu?

 

EDiT:

Here i have gathered some gpus, which of them is the best:

https://www.amazon.de/GeForce-1080Ti-Blower-GDDR5X-352bit/dp/B06XSN26CZ/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1530977735&sr=8-7&keywords=1080ti

https://www.amazon.de/ASUS-GeForce-GTX1080TI-11G-Grafikkarte-System-Integration/dp/B06XSJJK4M/ref=sr_1_27?ie=UTF8&qid=1530977763&sr=8-27&keywords=1080ti

 

So 2 of them are blower style, but which is louder? The mini card or a big blower card?

Then there is this non blower 1080ti, but that is a bit bigger and more expensive.

So my options for a 1080ti are:

zotac 1080ti mini 757 €

zotac 1080ti blower 730 €

Asus turbo 1080ti blower 735 €

Zotac AMP 1080ti 800 €

that's a super generous amount of space... The 1080ti Strix from Asus is 298mm long, which is a long card itself. 150mm is a lot of height, since the MSI 1080ti Gaming X (which is one of the taller custom 1080ti) is 140mm tall. The only restriction here is the 45mm thickness, which limits you to dual slot cards.

I hope it will shut itself off rather than catching fire.

well the asus strix and the msi gaming x cost about a 900 €, so is it worth it over the the zotac mini?

And yeah most 1080ti's are over dual slot, so too thicc.

No, get a Straight Power 11 instead.

You can get the 450W for the same price and the 550W is a bit more expensive.

 

In general, the 600W Pure Power 10 makes no sense, only 400 and 500W do because of the price compared to the competition.

And 600W is something you don't need anyway.

 

So three options:
a) you save money and get the 500W Pure Power 10

b) you get the 450W Straight Power 10 instead, for about the same price

c) you pay around 5-7€ more for the 550W Straight Power 11.

No, because specification for lenth is 315mm.

And there were some of those cards in the past, though you might not be old enough to remember

 

A Gravis Ultrasound MAX is something in that range.

Or Soundblaser AWE32.

Those are not 1080 Tis, though.

With an old Green Label CX, I'd rather replace the PSU and use it in a second or third PC.

No, they are BETTER =) :D :D

Is this a good deal? Is that psu worth the money?
