Also I upgrade this solely for a smoother Skyrim VR with MOD

Yes, the biggest considerations are the power available and the physical size of the card. Your 500W supply is adequate though if I were building from scratch I'd likely choose a 650-750W supply. You'll want to measure the space available and then look at the card specs to make sure it'll fir.

Want to add that the PSU should be ATX form factor if you are planning to change it. GTX 1080TI requires 2 8pin power, while the RX 580 uses 1 8 pin only, which means that your current PSU might not have additional power connector for the 1080ti.
