Need advice on GTX 1070s

[2Tartu]

Hey,

I'm building a system for my other brother with my brother and in it we're planning on putting a 1070.
Specifically, this is the one I'm looking at right now: https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-1070-AERO-8G-OC.html#hero-overview

Is this a good idea? Are those blower type cards reliable, how about their acoustic & thermal performance? Should I look at other brands-models?

Why I thought the blower is a good idea: his room always has high temperatures, and one would assume that the blower type card would remove the gpu heat far quicker from the case.

Blower type cards are good if there's not good air flow in the case...this way it removes itself. On the other hand, if there is good airflow with lots of case fans then I'd not go with the blower style...they are loud as fuck in my opinion.

I recommend this MSI. I own it, and it rocks! https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GEFORCE-GTX-1070-GAMING-X-8G.html#hero-overview

Went with the armor version due to price and noise considerations https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/GeForce-GTX-1070-ARMOR-8G-OC.html#hero-overview

I have this card and the fans hardly ever turn on, I have 4 case fans and a Corsair H20 2 fan cooler also

It runs great!

Antec makes the best PSU's. I have had several, and they are all still in use. My latest is the HCP-1000.

This cooler keeps my Hexacore CPU nice and cool. It can handle OC configurations as well. Did just fine with a 20% OC on my i7 3930k.
