Seems like an okay price compared to other options available atm, I personally prefer dealing with computer alliance than umart and Gigabyte over Evga/Galax.

Had a bad experience with evga, twice in a row years ago. Gigabyte version still going nice.
Owned lots of Gigabyte gear over the years including second hand gear and it's all been solid. Not a single failure to report yet.

There's still stock for a much cheaper GTX 1080 with Much better cooling. As OP pointed out it's from Computer Alliance as opposed to Umart but is it worth $70 for a worse product? That's a lot of peanuts after all.
I think OP's preferences are pretty arbitrary. That gigabyte blower style cooler probably performs worse than any other aftermarket solution.
It does not, it performs better in most circumstances, but there are use cases where a blower style is better (like very small builds).
I personally want to throw a blower style card in a server, where the PCIe below it is occupied. I believe a blower style would be better as it would not keep the heat inside the case + it would be able to get the air from after the PCIe card below it. An after market card would try to get the half the air half exactly from where the PCI card below is.
Oh damn missed this one.okay might as well delist this one.
Blower cards have their place. In small form factor cases blower cards generally perform better in keeping both CPU and graphics card temps down by removing the hot air from the graphics card directly out of the case.
And I've ordered the white one! been looking at the 1070ti version of this for some time but the 1080 is the beast.
I had a 1080ti previously which exploded when my H80i leaked all over it, that was a $1k card, but this is fair comparison performance for $700.
Blower style not for me, and Gigabyte have never been a quality brand.
Might be worth talking to Corsair about that. Not many people know this but Corsair and NZXT have warranty coverage if they aio product fails and damages other components, it’s treated in a case by case basis and so long as no tampering and or damage caused to the aio you might be able to get the damaged items replaced.
Corsair absolutely came to the party with a NEW H80iV2, a new 850W PSU, and $1300 to my new rig - however just the video card would have cost 1300 to replace and I lost a $400 motherbaord and $1500 CPU (replacement cost these days for the same performance was reasonable~ like AMD2600x)
So ye for corsair, but personally not going to be using waterblocks again, ever, period. (as the Americans would say)
So $699 on a 1080, I have a PSU, now just looking for RAM prices to fall so I can spend the other ~600. Given RAM is about $300, I can wait.
@DisasterArea: sucks on the gpu/ cpu etc. I’ve only ever had to deal with this twice in all of the aio builds I’ve done and Corsair replaced all the damaged parts. It sucks that they didn’t cover it all but some thing is better than nothing I guess.
As for your ram conundrum look at ocau a lot of people are selling off decent amounts of ddr4 for reasonable prices ( gskill and Corsair are lifetime warranties and I know gskill you don’t even need a receipt to claim the warranty)
So GPU prices are coming down then?
Wasn't that long ago that ANY 1080 would be $1000+
Gigabyte over evga???!! Triger warning
