Hi, this might be a weird question to ask but hear me out. So I'm looking to replace my dead GTX 1060 with a 6600 XT. Narrowing it down by availability and price (mostly price) in my area, I have a choice of Asus Dual 6600 XT and MSI Gaming X 6600 XT. Both are similarly priced at $290 (Asus) and $305 (MSI). Although a $15 difference might not seems much, in my country $15 buys lunch for a week. I read from reviews that the MSI Gaming X one have better cooling, but is the difference in price really worth it? Should I just save $15 and buy the ASUS or spend more for the MSI? I honestly can't tell the difference between the two aside from the looks and price. I have a 5600G so the iGPU can limp me over until I can buy a new card, but for work reasons I am planning to buy a replacement sometime next week. Thanks in advance.

Keep up the good work Linus Media Group! Hope I will be there when you reach 2 Million subs!

Yep, it does look like crap, but I guess I just have to live with it for a while. I got the PC from my friend

Well, I feel dumb right now for not directly measuring the space in my tower Just measured it and it looks like it can fit in there, although its a tight squeeze... Well Thanks anyway for those who replied, I'll buy the card a couple days from now

First of all, I like to say that this is my first time writing a page, and I'm not sure whether this is the correct place to put this. I am having some trouble when I tried to upgrade my GPU... But, let me give you guys some more details of the PC. I have an HP Envy 700-200d, this version of the 700 is only released in Indonesia. Mobo : MS-7826 uATX board Case size : 42.4 cm x 17.2 cm x 41.1 cm (its 16.7''x 6.8'' x 16.2" in inches, and the order is L(length) x W(width) x H(height)) Power Supply : 600W Current GPU : GeForce GT 640 I think that these are the only specs needed, but in case a full specs is needed, just go to this link below http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=uk&lc=en&docname=c04042972#N1238 I am planning to switch out the graphics card with a more powerful R9 270x, or GTX 660, but I'm afraid that the thing won't fit in my case, since it is cramped in there BTW, here is the inside of the case I got from the internet Please tell me if you think that the card can fit in there. I would like to play games with better graphics Thanks in advance and sorry for bad english
