[SOLVED] Blower or Open Air

So I'm sorta strapped for cash and a cheap 1070 ti is where I wanna opt for my new build. I found two, one open air and one blower, where the open air is about 400 dollars and the blower is 360. My build is just a normal mid size so the open air would be better, but since I'm short on money would the blower be the better option? Is the 40 dollars worth the bonus of the more efficient open air cooler? I'm only interested in little if not no overclocking

Solution
What versions specifically? Some open air coolers arent any better than blower coolers.

Generally either is fine, but blower coolers do tend to be loud.
