That's not too bad. You're lucky you live in colder climates. Personally prefer being cooler than warm, weathers wise lol. Though I guess you guys also have extreme summers. Like ours is hot but nowhere near 40c and over.
I suppose it depends on how comfortable you are with with raising ambient temperature and power usage.
It does look like this is one generation that the 90 series is going to be a quite substantial leap over the 80 series so it may be worth the extra wattage. Especially if you want to max out with RT and stuff at 4K with decent performance. I'm leaning more towards the 7 series myself but I can't say I'm not tempted by the 4080 lol.
