What is the best gtx 1080 for no OC'ing?

Are you going to game in 4k or 1080p?

This card is really nice, cheap, and includes Destiny 2. You don't need anything more expensive if you are not overclocking. You can also get the Gigabyte, if it fits your build. The orange color on the Gigabyte ruins it a bit..

What do you mean by no OCing? Do you mean you do not wanna to OC the GPU yourself or you do not want those factory OCed GPUs?

Why would you not want a factory clocked GPU?

Factory overclocking is overclocking done by the producer of the aftermarket card. An MSI GTX 1080 may be clocked at a different speed than a Zotac or Palit one from the factory.

If you only game at 1080p, 1080 is way overkill. Get a 1070, much more for your money.

If you are planning to upgrade to 4k soon, you should put in the extra money for a 1080ti...

If you do not know, cards like KFA2 GTX1070EXOC, ASUS GTX1070 Strix OC, etc. are all overclocked by default, out of the factory.
