Good day to You,

at first here are pics of an Alienware Aurora R4 inside.

My questions:
Is it better to use open air or blower cooler due to airflow of the case ? Default is blower (it comes with 760Ti). According to this video 1070FE is the best choice...

Is here some1 who has an Aurora R4 PC and upgraded to an open air cooler, or anyone who replaced blower gpu in prebuild pc with an open air one ? Were there any temperature issues with other components or maybe some other ?

I checked threads that I found about this but there was no clear answer...

I would stay with the blower, it looks like they already have a cool air tunnel leading over the card, this designed was specifically done for best performance on a blower card.

Switching from one will greatly raise the ambient case temp
Cpu temp will go up because now your using heat exauhsted from your gpu to cool your radiator rather than cold air.

This will also heat up your chipsets, your south bridge and Northbridge because the heat exauhsted has no efficent way of escaping causing lingering or stagnant air over your passive heat sinks.

Only way I would switch to a open air is if I got all new case fans, top mounted exauhst fans, and a bottom intake fan. Then remove the air tunnel for the gpu.

Exactly.
I just want to be sure about it.

And among these trash blower cards what is the best solution?
1) nVidia default FE (subquestion is who is the best seller with clever price/service ratio for this basic card in central europe ? gigabyte/zotac/evga/etc.)
2) MSI 1070 AERO OC
3) ASUS 1070 TURBO
