the 1180 supposedly outperforms the 1080 by 50 percent, and outperforms the 1080ti my 20 percent. I'd recommend waiting to see the official release in August. Even if the 1180 is shit, the 1080 would have lowered in price some more then.

Nobody can really give you any info regarding prices or performance on the new stuff coming out, it's all just speculation at this point. If you're building a pc and need a card the 1080 is just fine and will be after the new cards come out. What matters most is what card and what DEAL are you able to get NOW. if you need a card get it, just don't pay to much

If you wait for the next best thing, you will wait forever.
If you have a need now, buy now.

If history is any guide, new top end cards will carry a high price premium and will get sold out initially.
New intermediate level cards will sell based on price/performance basis.

Be a sharp shopper, some retailers may be reducing inventory.

If you want to hedge your bet a bit, buy a EVGA card, they have a 90 day trade up option if you need to upgrade your card to something stronger.
Read the details.

I bought a 1080 at Microcenter yesterday. The EVGA 1080 FTW edition and its awesome..I'm pushing the full 240fps for my 240hz monitor at 1080p and low settings. I'll still upgrade to the 11 series, but thats just me. I used an amazon price match on my card at microcenter and got it for 560 + tax. Solid I think

Be a sharp shopper.
I think prices will soften a bit.
The evga web site seems to be discounting GTX1080ti cards:
https://www.evga.com/products/productlist.aspx?type=0&family=GeForce+10+Series+Family&chipset=GTX+1080+Ti
The SC versions are factory overclocked.
Here is one on newegg:
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487336

FWIW,
Corsair H45 cooler is no more effective than a decent air cooler.
Your case is a nice one with good airflow.
I might suggest the cryorig H7 which is only 145mm tall.

My canned rant on liquid cooling:
------------------------start of rant-------------------
You buy a liquid cooler to be able to extract an extra multiplier or two out of your OC.
How much do you really need?
I do not much like all in one liquid coolers when a good air cooler like a Noctua or phanteks can do the job just as well.
A liquid cooler will be expensive, noisy, less reliable, and will not cool any better
in a well ventilated case.
Liquid cooling is really air cooling, it just puts the heat exchange in a different place.
The orientation of the radiator will cause a problem.
If you orient it to take in cool air from the outside, you will cool the cpu better, but the hot air then circulates inside the case heating up the graphics card and motherboard.
If you orient it to exhaust(which I think is better) , then your cpu cooling will be less effective because it uses pre heated case air.
Past that, A AIO radiator complicates creating a positive pressure filtered cooling setup which can keep your parts clean.
And... I have read too many tales of woe when a liquid cooler leaks.
Google for AIO leaks to see what can happen.
While unlikely, leaks do happen.

I would support an AIO cooler primarily in a space restricted case.
If one puts looks over function, that is a personal thing; not for me though.
-----------------------end of rant--------------------------

Your pc will be quieter, more reliable, and will be cooled equally well with a decent air cooler.
