@HeytzDannie,

I will mention the GTX 1080 cards.  Read the following.     

https://www.slant.co/topics/6155/~gtx-1080-cards 

https://gpunerd.com/guides/best-gtx-1080-brand

There are always variations and differences in quaility and quirks.

The EGVA's GTX 1080 have been problematic, with overheating.  EVGA issues a DIY mode that requests you to disassemble the heat shroud to insert heat shields. (IMHO and others that is very impolite).

I bought the Zotac Amp Extreme.  Allow for 3 slots.  It does require the MSI Afterburner program to control the fans.  Set above 35% to keep the fans ON.  If allowed to go 0%, the card warms up, causing the fans to roar at 100%.  At that point, it stays at 100%.

 

now for the Titan X... the GTX 1080 beats it. See here.

Reminder: You need a 600W PSU to keep that beast happy.  I know it calls only for a 500W PSU, but get a Corsair CX600. It's a exact fit, allows for better temps.  If your thinking the 650 modular, remember it's almost 1 inch deeper into the case. It might slam into the DVD drive.

I suggest you google and search for "problems". If there are any, the web will tell.
