Which one?

I got to build my first pc and planning on getting 1660 super on r5 3600,b450 gaming plus motherboard.

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER OC 6GB GDDR6 HDMI/3xDP DX12 WINDFORCE 2X

MSI GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER VENTUS XS 6GB GDDR5 OC HDMI/DPx3

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER Gaming OC 6GB GDDR6 HDMI/3xDP

mainly the brand of the GPU comes down to personal preferance. some may have better cooling, some may be quieter, some may perform a little better, different ways of overclocking, the look of the Graphics card backplate + heatsink. etc etc.

 

i dont think it makes alot of a differance from my experiance, 

 

i would reccomend watching a video review on each, and then making a pick.

they might all have slightly different performance, but it wont be anything largely noticable.

Easily the Gigabyte Gaming OC version, this has the best cooling.

The normal Gigabyte OC version has heatsink fins that run along the length of the card which makes for  terrible heat dissopation, and the Ventus has an aluminium block with some heatpipes as a heatsink, this will probably cool terribly.

Wrong. Those fins are actually better because they send most of the heat straight out the back of the PC and not down on your motherboard or the side panel. Their only issue is that some of the heat is coming out at the "pci-e power" side of the card on AIB models that are open on that side.

For long cards it is a must to have fins perpendicular to the length of the card, but for shorter cards it might be beneficial.

Why is it a must?

Because that way the heat can directly go out of the fins and and new air can be pulled in. Also, a card with vertical fins (that go perpendicular to the length of the card) are more expensive to produce, simply because there are more fins so it requires more manufacturing. So vertical fins is a sign of a high quality card

Yes, directly go out right on to the m.2 SSD that's under the card and for longer cards that includes the chipset and other mobo components as well. Fantastic.

With fins that go along the length of the card, there are only two exhaust points: the rear and the other end of the card. In the rear it barely comes out the back, and on the other end it's sucket up by other components that need to be cooled. Also, there's a reason why all high performance and overclocking cards have their fins perpendicular to the length of the card.
