In my country a GTX 1070 Zotac Mini Dual Fan 8GB cost 40$ more than a GTX 1060 STRIX OC 6GB. Basically the cheapest 1070 and the priciest 1060. I am not sure what to get since if you talk about build quality ASUS wins and I kinda care about the aesthetic side too (I'd like a back plate). Anyone has these cards and can help me? Any issues I should be concerned about and your overall opinion.
I asked my friend and I said that I wanted to buy a card now that can max most at 1080p and probably replace it in 2 years time and he immediately said to get the 1060 since according to him if I plan to replace the card, I'd be wasting my money on the 1070. Well for me, I don't mind the 40$ more, if it was a 100$ price difference, then I would reconsider.
I game at 1080p @ 60hz and wanting to get a 144hz Monitor. I play Witcher 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Dota 2, Overwatch.
Current GPU: GTX 750ti STRIX 2GB.
