1080 GTX Founders Edition- best version for Alienware x51 SFF PC?

[LLYNX]

I have a Small Form Factor PC in the form of an Alienware x51 r2. I currently have a reference 980, and it works fine. I would prefer to get a EVGA ACX (non-SC) 1080 card, but I heard the cooler on the Founder's is better for small PC's. What do you all think?

I would stick with the founders edition or some other type of blower style cooler. There isn't going to be enough space for passive cooling the video card.
