Well cross another one off the list of potential 1080 Hybrid buyers. I just got an order through for the GV-N1080XTREME W-8GD GTX 1080 Waterforce on newegg.

Missed my #2 choice.  Grabbed Sea Hawk X yesterday at newegg.
Can you post your benchmarking?

So the Hybrid kit for the FTW will only cost 60.00 versus the FE being 120.00? Uhhh

"System 404 error" Your link is not working.  Where are you getting that the FTW kit costs $60 compared to the FE at $120?  Is it just because the FE accessory kit is priced at $120 and the actual Hybrid is $729 v $679?  And in reality, if that is the case, it is only %50, not $60.  The FTW is an EVGA PCB, so it is much easier for them to plan the pricing how they want.  The Kits have always been more expensive as an accessory versus just buying the hybrid.

Where did I get it? Simple math, 730-680=?+shipping, around that amount.
I'm not saying that's what it will cost 'cause I know it won't cost that much, just pointing out the price difference.

Like I said, $50, lol, not 60. That was why I inquired, because the math was strange. Like you said though, simple math :-) 
 
Can't factor shipping, as the weight of the packages, where they will go, and how they get shipped will drastically change prices. Not to mention, shipping is free on some items right now, meaning it won't effect price at all.

it's an estimate...I can, and in fact, did, factor in rough shipping in my comment, just because I didn't blatantly state something that would be utterly pointless, thus estimating 60.00, too bad, that's my comment, not yours. when concerning the US, I'm in Hawaii, I have the worst/most expensive shipping, so I know what's up.

One, calm down. I was picking on you because you stated simple math. Two, as I stated, shipping is free on some items (at least within the US).

Don't get bent out of shape when someone makes an inquiry and then a joke about a mistake. Everyone does it. You aren't alone.

HEY, YOU don't tell me to calm down big guy just because you're a MOD, I'll get CRAZY up on this forum if I so choose.
But seriously, no, you think I couldn't do simple math to know the price difference of the two being 50.00...trust me, I know that, whether you believe it or not, I made the number higher for that reason alone as stated above, I just didn't state it...because it's not real, AKA, does not matter.
 
What's important is the idea of it being that cheap, but we both know it won't be.
 
Edit:
Price difference of the shrouds? -shrug-

I think one other factor to consider is that there's not an "extra" air cooler that isn't being used when you compare the price of the upgrade kit to the difference between the FTW card and the Hybrid card. so it's like the $680 of the FTW, - ?? for not having the normal air cooler, + ?? for the likely most costly hybrid cooler +/- adjustment for marketing/demand reasons = $730
