I've heard good things about the 1080, but hell, I still have a 660, I can never afford the 'bleeding edge' cards.
If i knew my processor could handle it i'd be ricking these babies on release day.

Most sites I've seen say that any recent generation i5 could handle it, but I might want to make sure with an i7. Also, it is said that if your monitor is 1080p @ 60hz, the gtx 1080 would be massive overkill as would anything over a 970 or so. I see 27" 1440p as a minimum to see a big difference.
I mean, damn, the thing has 8gb memory on the card. My mainboard memory in my current computer is 8gb. I also hear the more impressive thing is that the card runs cooler than most Nvidias even with all that tech on it (or maybe because of it).
