So, I'll preface this by saying I'm a novice; I've never built a PC from the ground up.  I actually purchased a custom-built origin PC from Origin using a Corsair 750D case and it's awesome.  It has i7 6700k and 1080 FE and I don't overclock and I play on 1440P GSYNC.  Worked great!
 
The way the system came was positive pressure.  They installed the CPU AIO on the top rear of the case blowing out and three case fans pulling in (two top, one front).  It has some natural vents on the rear for additional "natural" venting since it's positive pressure.
 
So, when I got this card, the only space left without major reconfiguring (which I didn't want to do) was the empty front.  But since all the fans except the CPU were pulling (and I like positive pressure because I hate dust), I flipped the radiator fan to also pull.  I didn't want any weird airflows and disruptions of a push/pull side-by-side and I wanted to maintain a strong positive pressure. 
 
 
So, here are my results after a few hours of gameplay, all Ultra @ 1440 and 165 Hz:
 
Overwatch:
1.  1080 Founder's Edition: 78 C, CPU 49 C
2.  1080 TI Hybrid (pull config): 49 C, CPU 52 C
 
Planetside 2
1.  1080 Founder's Edition: 76 C, CPU 54 C
2.  1080 TI Hybrid (pull config): 48 C, CPU 58 C
 
All measurements from EVGA Precision.

So, it seems my CPU temp jumped a few C, which kind of makes sense as my GPU is now dumping hotter air into the case, but I'm happy it worked.  In fact, I'm in awe.  I hated the massive amount of heat dumping out the rear of my case due to the GPU.  It heated up the entire room.  It's nothing now.  One thing I've noticed is that radiator fan is not controllable, but it doesn't bother me as I can barely hear it.

    Do you have room to add a Second Fan in Push to run a Push/Pull system?
    Do you have a Fan on the Bottom Pulling in Air for the Blower on the GPU?
    The PCIe Slot that you have the Card installed is your Card able to run @ X16?
    A little hard to see with Side Cover on.

    Similar way I did it.  CPU temps increased a few degrees but, the cooler GPU is more important. As an aside, regardless of how your fans are set up, you're exhausting the same amount of watts into the room...just not as noisily. I went with a different fan running off the motherboard. Quite a bit quieter for my system.

    Not to be the bearer of bad news, but your room temps will be the exact same as before.  Heat doesn't disappear .   Your GPU is cooler because all that heat is being transferred to the radiator where its released inside your case being a intake then exhausted into your room.

    Well, placebo or not, it feels cooler in my room.  Maybe it's in my head, but eh, I just don't feel that mass of hot air blowing out of my case now, anywhere.  
     
    But, conversely, my GPU doesn't run at 80 C anymore.  So in effect, it is cooler and everything around it will be as well.  The entire hybrid system doesn't hide 80 C as the GPU never reaches that point.  The water system isn't running at a higher temperature than the GPU.

    mine is at bottom of graphic card
    at 1440p 144hz have temps between 45/50 with fans at 1100rpm in summer. on winter temps between 40/45. but i have modded my hybrid kit with 240 rad.
    some people post temps at 1080p and the card is much more cooler its normal because at this resolution the card is almost idle :)

    I will confirm that switching from push to pull with these radiators does make a difference. I've done this to both my corsair h110i cooling a 7700k and my last 1080 ftw hybrid and both showed lower temps chip side. I believe this is likely due to a pull configuration not having to deal with the resistance of blowing through a radiator. It will only pull what air it is going to pull through. I don't think its a placebo at all.

    Your GPU isn't running at 80C because you put a Hybrid cooler on it, not because you reversed the fan. Now do a comparison of GPU/CPU temps with the GPU fan in either direction. Look again at your numbers in the OP, your CPU is now running warmer.

    You should make a Mods rig profile. Take a few nice pics with side off. Nice temps, I love water cooling in all forms.

    You don't feel a mass of hot air blowing out of your case because you don't have anything to blow it out.  Youi only have 1 exhaust fan and its blowing through your cpu radiator.  Your FE stock blower cooler was your other exhaust fan which you now removed.   Everything around your card is actually warmer because you are blowing that heat directly back on your GPU, motherboard, RAM with your radiator placement while also significantly increasing your inside case temps by a allot which is what the VRM fan pulls from to cool everything else on your card.  If you are looking big picture at the best way you can cool all your components is setting it as an exhaust.  If getting 2C to 5C less GPU core temps at the expense of everything else intake is the way to go.  Either way you should at least try to flip one of your top fans to exhaust and see if you keep your pressure while creating a cooler situation inside your case.
