Hello computer fellas, I need some help :D
Questions:
1. is it worth getting 1080 over 1070 if i will be playing on 1080p/60hz monitor (unless i snap a deal of used 1440p monitor under 150€)?
2. will ryzen 5 1600 bottleneck 1080?
3. is there perfomance different in gtx 1070 versions (like will be MSI GeForce® GTX 1070 GAMING X 8G be better than ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 1070 Mini, 8GB)?

1) The GTX 1080 will be overkill for 1080p/60Hz, however, consider prices of 1070 and 1080 are close, it may be a logical choice - especially if you can get that 1440p monitor.

2) It will pair nicely.

3) Graphics performance difference of the same chip are very minimal as most GPUs are only factory-clocked slightly higher than the others. You can OC lower clocked GPUs to reach the same higher factory-clock speeds though. Noise and heat dissipation is another matter, as generally, those single-fan GPUs would have to work harder (and noisier) to dissipate heat compared to dual-fan or triple-fan GPUs that only have to spin slower for the same amount of airflow (and, thus, quieter) to dissipate the same amount of heat.

1. Maybe. The 1080 will be able to keep 60 FPS on a greater range of games offering a little more longevity. THe GFX Card prices right now are still stupid high. Waiting a month or so is in your best interest. Consider https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GeForce-GV-N1080G1-GAMING-8GD-Graphics/dp/B01GJEE9BG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500639605&sr=8-1&keywords=Gigabyte+G1+1080. Its MSRP is $500. It's been as low as $479 in the past. Recently it's been as low as $499.

2. Not at all.

3.Yes, there is. Clock(memory and core) are different so there will be a slight performance difference.

Do I want one fan cooling my card or two? Three? Depends on my case and the reviews.

No, no, no, no and NO my dear friend, if you OC ryzen 5 1600 it won't bottleneck at all, watched a lot videos and there is no bottleneck. 99% GPU usage and only 40-50% CPU usage, no bottleneck ;)
