I am hoping to buy my new 1080 but don't know what one to get, i'm quite tight on money so it's probably the Zotac or EVGA one. I'm not to bothered about overclocking but i will do it if i can. Does it really matter which one i get? What one do you guys recommend?

Also, will it be safe to say that they will fit it a Fractal Design Define S?

Non Founders Edition!

Any help will be appreciated!

someone who's quite tight on money probably shouldnt be buying a gtx 1080 but who am i to say...

if you're not going to be overclocking i'd suggest just get the one thats the absolute cheapest. its the top card right now so any one you pick up is going to be very nice. theyre all going to perform close to eachother out of the box. we're talking within a couple of percent difference. just get the one you think looks best and dont stress about the brand. it'll fit in a Define S too, no problem.
