Good list. Personally I like the 1080 Ti a bit more than the others on the list because of the resale value, but that obviously depends on the market you are operating in.

Thanks, the main reason I dropped it low was because of the outlay of the card and the return on it. Still an amazing card especially if your planning to game as well!
