Well, the Lightning series is the highest tier card from MSI. The Gaming line is one step below the Lightning. I would get it based off of looks.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

Lightning is better, you would need to remove a HDD bay for it to fit though. However it's not worth getting if there is massive price difference between the two. 

Spoiler

Corsair 400C- Intel i7 6700- Gigabyte Gaming 6- GTX 1080 Founders Ed. - Intel 530 120GB + 2xWD 1TB + Adata 610 256GB- 16GB 2400MHz G.Skill- Evga G2 650 PSU- Corsair H110- ASUS PB278Q- Dell u2412m- Logitech G710+ - Logitech g700 - Sennheiser PC350 SE/598se


Is it just me or is Grammar slowly becoming extinct on LTT?

the lightning is around 1% better, so unless they are the same cost, get the gaming edition.

The lightning is a small percentage better but also has a higher chance of being a good overclocker, as MSI tests all the lightning cards beforehand.
