Gtx 980ti or Gtx 1070 (Uncommon scenario)

[CoreBuilder]

Hi, well I definitely need to upgrade my current gpu ( GeForce 9600GSO ) and I recently started building a new gaming PC, and bought 1080p 144hz monitor, because I love the smoothness.
So the main options are the gtx 1070 and the gtx 980ti atm.. So then I saw a deal on caseking.de for EVGA gtx 980ti hybrid for only 399€, and the cheapest gtx 1070 I found there was the Palit Dual one. My concern is that the Palit Dual doesn't have the best air cooler, and I've read some reviews that say it gets pretty hot and loud.. (It costs 419.99€). Or should I go for the MSI Gaming edition of the gtx 1070, which costs 499.99€ on amazon.de. The another problem is that I have an Mini-ITX case (BitFenix Prodigy, well I gotta say that it doesn't have the best airflow, but it's good because I have a 230mm fan in the front.)

So my question is with which one should I go?

Thank you for you answers.

And if anyone knows where I can get some card cheaper then please share it, thanks.

Well, if you get the hybrid where are you intending to put the radiator? What about the CPU cooling?

For a mini-ITX build lots of people use the reference cards. Sadly for the 10 series, these are more expensive.

Make sure the MSI gaming X fits in your case. It's really thick and I have a friend whose MSI 1070 doesn't fit in their mid tower. The 1070 and 980ti are about 5% different in performance but I would still go with a 1070. You might want to try a smaller card like a EVGA SC or even a reference eddition.

I'm intending to put the 120 rad on the top of the case. For cpu I use the Coolermaster Hyper 212X, modified the backplate a little to get it fit to my motherboard...

Well it should fit when I remove 1 drive bay, which I don't use. Well but should I go for the supreme Cooled MSI one, the Cheap Palit one, or still the hybrid gtx 980ti?

Well I'm certainly not going for the Palit one, but I might go for the Evga SC
ACX 3.0 one.

I quote this video all the time. You can only decide what you want. The SC EVGA will be 2 or 3 degrees hotter and 1-3 fps slower than the MSI one. Is it worth it for you. That's all that matters.

If it fits, go for a gainward phoenix
Should be around 425€ and got one of the best cooling solutions there is for the 1000 series

Does anyone know where can I get the Msi Gaming edition of the gtx 1070 for less than 499€ ?
