I fear it won't be enough. The card alone draws anywhere abouts 250W or higher, maybe lower. That's half your system draw.. It's much safer to get a bigger PSU.

marginal: 250W for gpu (Toms review had worst case 0f 270 W), 100W for cpu, unknown watts for mb and RAM, maybe 20 watts for HDD/SSD, ?? watts for fans

520W isn't enough to carry a 1080Ti.

Had a great 5-year experience with and I blindly trust ASUS so I'd suggest you go with it.
They have great cooling designs as well, with good price.

While choosing a GPU, these things I kept in mind:

(The GPU MUST have a fan atleast...)

GPU Core Clock and Memory Clock speeds
VRAM Size (Memory size of the GPU, like a 4GB Graphics card has 4GB VRAM)
No. of Cores/Stream Processors/CUDA Cores (Higher = better) [VERY IMPORTANT]
Power requirement of the card and if it requires external PCI-e power
Size of the card, if it'll fit in your case.

Then, memory type (DDR3, DDR5, GDDR5)
Bus width, PCI-E Slot Type (PCIe_2.0 or PCIe_3.0)
