Hi there, just a heads up, AIO will also have a air cooling component (The radiator). If you are newb/noob to DIY, i would recommend against AIO as you lack the technical knowledge to deal with points of failures like leakage, pump failure etc. I would recommend just get a good air cooler and just clean out the dust every 3 years

I understand that the AIO requires its own fan but if i can reduce the fans in general i would prefer it, well if the AIO is pretty expensive and popping my budget i would go with all fans then.

but AIOs require 1 fans for 120mm, 2 fans fro 240mm. Air coolers wise, u can always go for top down coolers with 1 fan or you can go with tower coolers that takes 2 fans. Overall, both AIO and air cooling will use the same number of fans though

+1 you go for a good aircooler, easier to clean and maintain.

Wait for gtx1180 or get gtx1080 ti.. price no much difference compare to gtx1080. I hope u running 4k or 144hz 2k monitor to do justice your gtx1080ti. Not some joker here buy gtx1080ti but use low spec monitor that dont have an hdmi or display port.

If you are new to building ur own PC, pls go with an air cooler

AIOs are prone to pump failures, which may not be easy for someone not technically versed to realise. The only signs usually is the PC overheating and shutting down (due to the CPU not being cooled at all) and odd noises coming from the block.

Air-coolers are more simple

if fan=spinning
{
cooling=ok
}

if fan≠spinning
{
cooling≠ok
}
