GTX 1080, help with options

[hillelslovak]

Current Specs Corsair Carbide Spec Alpha case, asrock h170m pro4 mobo, intel 6600, r9 380x 4gb, corsair 600w psu.

I am looking to splurge and buy a GTX 1080, maybe even tomorrow.

First off, I plan on playing at 60fps and at 1440p. Will my i5 6600 likely bottleneck a 1080? I'm willing to buy a better cpu, like an i7, if I have to in order to avoid a bad bottleneck.

Ok, here are the options I have that look appealing. I hopefully want a version of the card that isn't loud as hell, and I know not if one brand's version will be louder, or have more coil whine than another.

So, which performs the best, and which company will give me the lower temps, not be loud as hell, and be reliable?

No get a 1070 or 1070ti for 1440p at 60fps. As far as brands go I'd say it is more about the cooling solutions for that Givin card. Msi is good, gigabyte, asus, I mean they're All good just make sure that your case is big enough and psu has power and plugs

Well, the 1080 is only roughly 50 bucks more than the 1070, and I want to future proof my rig as much as I can right now, so the maybe 10-15% increase in performance from the 1070 to 1080 is worth it to me.

Which one should be the most reliable and quiet?

I wouldn't pick any of those personally.

I would go with the EVGA FTW2 over any of the ones listed.
